Specific Association of Human Telomerase Activity with Immortal Cells and Cancer
Kim, N. W., Piatyszek, M. A., Prowse, K. R., Harley, C. B., West, M. D., Ho, P. L. C., Coviello, G. M., Wright, W. E., Weinrich, S. L., & Shay, J. W. (1994) · Science · doi:10.1126/science.7605428 · Cited by 7,091 · cited 1×
“It was proposed initially that telomerase is expressed in germ-line cells — for which the maintenance of telomeres is crucial to fertility — and in transformed cells that are immortalized or have unlimited growth capacity, but not in normal somatic cell”

“However, the breeding of successive generations of telomerase-deficient mice results in the progressive shortening of telomeres and, eventually (after ∼5–6 generations), both males and females are sterile, apparently owing to replicative failure and the increased apoptosis of germ-line cell”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
