A defining characteristic of cancer cells is their immortality. Usually normal cells are limited in the number of times they can divide before they stop growing. Cancer cells, however, can overcome this limitation to form tumors and circumvent “death” by continuing to replicate. Telomeres play a vital role in determining the number of times a …
