Look forward to it mz. This seems VERY lame. >>By limiting the number of divisions a cell can undergo, eukaryotcic organisms possess an inherent genetic mechanism to control for unchecked cellular proliferation. Unfortunately, cancer cells have found a way to overcome even this obstacle. However, the good news is that there may be only one major pathway: the activation of the enzyme telomerase by cancer cells, to achieve cellular immortality.<< That is from the article by the GERN employee NW Kim I cited earlier.
