Open AccessClinical implications of quantitative real-time RT–PCR analysis of hTERT gene expression in human gliomas
The presence of telomerase activity in a glioma may be a predictor of its malignant potential. Activation of telomerase is regulated at the transcriptional level of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTE...
