What are the Therapeutic Implications of Targeting Telomeres and Telomerase in Cancer?

Targeting telomeres and telomerase presents several therapeutic opportunities. Telomerase inhibitors are being developed to specifically target cancer cells with upregulated telomerase activity. Additionally, strategies to induce telomere dysfunction and genomic instability in cancer cells are being explored. Combining telomere-targeted therapies with existing cancer treatments could enhance their efficacy and reduce the likelihood of resistance.
