TELOMERE SYNTHESIS. “How do immortal cell lines avoid telomere shortening that, if it occurs, would lead to their demise? They found that telomeres are synthesized de novo by telomerase, a ribonucleoprotein enzyme that extends the 3′ end of telomeres and thus elongates them. It was simultaneously reported that cancer cells have shorter telomeres than do adjacent normal cells.”
