New research, "Real-time quantification of human telomerase reverse transcriptase mRNA in liver tissues from patients with hepatocellular cancer and chronic viral hepatitis," is the subject of a report. "We determined, for the first time, the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) mRNA expression, using real-time quantitative PCR, in liver tissues from patients with hepatocellular cancer (HCC; n=13), chronic hepatitis B (n=19) and C (n=13). Liver tissues from the 45 patients and 17 patients without liver disease in whom liver biopsy was performed during cholecystectomy (control group), were investigated for telomerase activity (TA) and hTERT mRNA expression using the LightCycler...
