BACKGROUND: In order to test our hypothesis that endometriosis is associated with abnormal expression of telomerase and telomere lengthening in endometrium, we assessed endometrial expression of the human telomerase enzyme and telomere leng…

By protecting eukaryotic linear chromosomal ends, telomeres are critical in maintaining chromosomal integrity and cellular stability. The expression of telomerase correlates specifically with cellular proliferation, and most endometrial can…
