Abstract excerpt
Defects in the mechanisms controlling the cell cycle are crucial in cell transformation and/or tumour progression. p21WAF1/CIP1 is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases, induced by p53-dependent and p53-independent pathways, which can block progression through the cell cycle. p21WAF1/CIP1 expression has been investigated immunohistochemically in a series of 191 patients with colorectal cancer of known p53...
