TGF-beta receptor mediated telomerase inhibition, telomere shortening and breast cancer cell senescence

ABSTRACT Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) plays a central role in telomere lengthening for continuous cell proliferation, but it remains unclear how extracellular cues regulate telomerase lengthening of telomeres. Here we report that the cytokine bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP7) ind...
