TL;DR: A highly sensitive assay for measuring telomerase activity was developed in this paper, which showed that telomerases appear to be stringently repressed in normal human somatic tissues but reactivated in cancer, where immortal cells are likely required to maintain tumor growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that the developmental characteristic most consistently associated with telomerase expression is self-renewal potential.
