Telomerase is active in most cancer cells.

<h3>What is the negative role of telomerase?</h3>

Telomerase is very active in cancer cells, replacing and lengthening any broken and shortened telomeres, which helps to explain why cancer is characterized by rapid and uncontrolled cell division. Telomere lengthening by telomerase allows cancer cells to multiply endlessly and develop swiftly.

Cancer cells would become inactive, cease dividing, and finally go through apoptosis if telomerase weren't present. Cancer cells may be rendered inactive and their ability to proliferate halted by substances that could inhibit telomerase or kill cells that manufacture the enzyme. However, telomerase-dependent cells including immune cells, sperm, and eggs may suffer if its activity is inhibited, which could have an adverse effect on fertility and the body's ability to fight off infection.

A/An __________ fracture is where the bone protrudes out of the skin.
vesna_86 [32]
<span>An open fracture is where the bone protrudes out of the skin. This usually occurs in accidents where collisions cause a massive blow to the body which then causes the bone to break and be displaced from their original positions. This type of fracture needs immediate medical assistance because this might cause a major blood loss to the body which might result to other complications (e.g. infections, further displacements). <span>

<span>Once an open fracture occurs, a person is suggested to stay in his exact position and not be moved until medical assistance arrives. Open fractures often require major surgeries and they usually take a longer time to recover than hairline fractures because a protrusion to the skin is evident.</span></span></span>
