Cancer Cell Immortality

Cellular immortality is a hallmark of cancer and provides a cancer-specific target for creating anti-cancer drugs with minimal side-effects. The Cancer Cell Immortality Group has developed the only specific biomarker and quantitative assay for the ALT (Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres) immortality mechanism, which now makes it possible to generate novel ALT-targeted therapeutics and diagnostics, as well as furthering our understanding of the ALT cellular immortality mechanism.
