- 肝细胞癌 (HCC) 研究研究
- 干细胞生物学 干细胞生物学
- 基因组稳定性的研究.
背景情况:
- 端粒酶逆转录酶 (TERT) 促进子突变在肝细胞癌 (HCC) 中很常见.
- 人类化学诱导的肝脏前体 (hCLiPs) 是肝脏再生的潜在细胞来源.
- 评估hCLiP的基因组变化对于它们的临床转化至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究hCLiPs中的TERT促进子突变.
- 评估这些突变与致癌的关联.

02:41Telomeres and Telomerase
24.2K
In eukaryotic DNA replication, a single-stranded DNA fragment remains at the end of a chromosome after the removal of the final primer. This section of DNA cannot be replicated in the same manner as the rest of the strand because there is no 3’ end to which the newly synthesized DNA can attach. This non-replicated fragment results in gradual loss of the chromosomal DNA during each cell duplication. Additionally, it can induce a DNA damage response by enzymes that recognize single-stranded...

Replicative cell senescence is a property of cells that allows them to divide a finite number of times throughout the organism's lifespan while preventing excessive proliferation. Replicative senescence is associated with the gradual loss of the telomere — short, repetitive DNA sequences found at the end of the chromosomes. Telomeres are bound by a group of proteins to form a protective cap on the ends of chromosomes. Embryonic stem cells express telomerase — an enzyme that adds...
