Combatting cellular immortality in cancers by targeting the shelterin protein complex

Abstract Shelterin proteins (TERF1, TERF2, TPP1, TINF2, POT1) protect telomeres, prevent unwarranted repair activation, and regulate telomerase activity. Alterations in these proteins can lead to cancer progression. This study uses an in-silico approach to examine shelterin in tumour samples across...
