TERT promotes epithelial proliferation through transcriptional control of a Myc- and Wnt-related developmental program.

Telomerase serves a critical role in stem cell function and tissue homeostasis. This role depends on its ability to synthesize telomere repeats in a manner dependent on the reverse transcriptase (RT) function of its protein component telomerase RT (TERT), as well as on a novel pathway whose mechanis...
