abstract：:The limited capacity to divide is one of the major differences between normal somatic cells and cancerous cells. This 'finite life span' of somatic cells is closely linked to loss of telomeric DNA at telomeres, the 'chromosome caps' consisting of repeated (7TAGGG) sequences., In more than 85% of advanced cancers, this...
