Telomerase-Mediated Strategy for Overcoming Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer Targeted Therapy and Chemotherapy Resistance

Standard and targeted cancer therapies for late-stage cancer patients almost universally fail due to tumor heterogeneity/plasticity and intrinsic or acquired drug resistance. We used the telomerase substrate nucleoside precursor, 6-thio-2′-deoxyguanosine (6-thio-dG), to target telomerase-expressing...
