Elmo Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hi all, Long time ago I studied about telomerase and its ability to regenerate telomeres after cellular division. As far as I remember, this happened with cancer cells. I'd like to know if it would be possible to study the inhibition of telomerase as a way of combating cancer. Any information I could check about this? Thank you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M. Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 my best guess would be this site. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telomerase follow links on that and see if you can find anything. sorry i wasnt such a help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npts2020 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Try googling "telomerase inhibitor", what you are asking about will be in the first few entries if not at the top. Actually there is a lot of research being done on this right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulna Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I have heard of this in cancer cells, it is one of the properties that confers such longevity to them. I googled "The role of telomerase in cancer" and came up with this among others http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10362013 The subject is fascinating, let us know anything really interesting you find out.
