Distinctions between telomeres in tumor cells and pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). The genome of tumors is unstable and is characterized by heterogeneous telomeres, extrachromosomal DNA circles, ALT-associated promyelocytic leukemia (PML) bodies (APBs), and frequent T-SCEs, whereas PSCs exhibit longer functional telomeres and stable genomes.
