Periodic Reporting for period 1 - CytoTERRA (Elucidating the function of telomeric transcripts in the cytoplasm of ALT osteosarcoma cells)

The project—CytoTERRA—aimed to understand a curious phenomenon present in ALT cancers— a subset of cancers that share a common molecular trait. In general, cancer cells achieve immortality by re-activating a particular enzyme, telomerase, that lengthens their chromosome...
