Highly Aggressive Metastatic Melanoma Cells Unable to Maintain Telomere Length

Summary: Unlimited replicative potential is one of the hallmarks of cancer cells. In melanoma, hTERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase) is frequently overexpressed because of activating mutations in its promoter, suggesting that telomerase is necessary for melanoma development. We observed, however,...
