16. Telomeric DNA in Chironomus, a naturally telomerase-free system
Abstract : Telomeres are specialized complexes of DNA and associated proteins that protect the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. Although most organisms have short repeated DNA sequences at their telomeres, which are specified and maintained by the enzyme telomerase, there are a few exceptions. READ MORE

17. Telomerase activation and its clinical implications in human thyroid tumors
Abstract : Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme. The catalytic and rate-limiting component of telomerase is referred to as telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) that plays an important role in telomere maintenance, cell immortalization and malignant transformation. READ MORE

18. Glioblastoma multiforme in the microscope: Diagnostic features of importance for prognosis and treatment
Abstract : Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant and also the most common form of brain tumour in humans. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate morphological and diagnostics features in human GBM that may be of importance for prognosis and treatment. READ MORE

19. Molecular studies of acute myeloid leukemia and the telomerase reverse transcriptase gene
Abstract : Multiple chromosome rearrangements (MCRs) are detected in approximately 10% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and are associated with an adverse prognosis. Comprehensive analysis of the chromosome rearrangements in these complex karyotypes has previously been hampered by the limitations of conventional cytogenetic techniques such as G-banding. READ MORE

20. Development of adenoviral vectors for monitoring telomerase activity in living cells
Abstract : ABSTRACT Telomerase activity is a potential molecular marker for cancer and primitive cells in regenerative tissues. The most commonly used method to measure telomerase activity in cells is the telomerase reverse amplification protocol (TRAP) assay, where the protein extracts derived from homogenized cells are analysed.
