Inhibition of p53 and/or AKT as a new therapeutic approach specifically targeting ALT cancers

Abstract While the majority of all human cancers counteract telomere shortening by expressing telomerase, ~15% of all cancers maintain telomere length by a telomerase-independent mechanism known as alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). Here, we show that high load of intrinsic DNA damage is pr...
