How Oxidative Stress Shapes Telomeres in Cancer
Original: When Oxidants Meet Telomeres: A Rigorous Audit of Redox Control in Cancer
A new review examines how reactive oxygen species affect telomeres and telomerase in cancer cells, auditing the current evidence on redox control of chromosome ends. The piece weighs how oxidants can drive telomere shortening and genomic instability, while tumors exploit antioxidant systems to maintain immortal cell division.
