RUDN Biochemists Found a Way to Stop the Immortality of Cancer Cells Using Oligonucleotides

Caption

RUDN biochemists found a way to reduce the activity of telomerase (the enzyme of cell immortality) 10 times. The discovery will help create new antitumor drugs and give a better understanding of how the activity of the enzyme can be controlled.
