University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Study Shows Suppression Of Telomerase Enzyme Can Inhibit Spread Of Melanoma

UCSF researchers have found that the spread of melanoma can be inhibited by suppressing telomerase, the enzyme active in cancer cell growth. Findings reported in the July 5 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences show for the first time a link between telomerase and glycolysis, the metabolic pathway used to consume glucose and produce lactic acid within the body.
