  "summary": "Reactivation of telomerase confers immortality to approximately 90% of human tumors by enabling continuous elongation of the DNA at chromosome ends, or telomeres. The telomerase catalytic subunit TERT adds TTAGGG repeats using a portion of the telomerase RNA component hTR as a template. Because telomerase is inactive in most normal somatic cells, it remains an attractive therapeutic target;…",
