Deskripsi
Telomerase expression and the alternative lengthening of telomeres pathway are hallmarks of cancer. Here, the authors show that, in primary brain tumors, these features are correlated with metabolic signatures detectable by metabolic imaging, suggesting that they can be used to non-invasively monitor telomere maintenance in brain tumours.
