Abstract excerpt
Normal human cells stop proliferation after a certain number of cell divisions. This phenomenon is called cellular aging. The fact that the senescence phenotype is dominant and the immortal one is recessive indicates that immortalization of human cells may be caused by loss of functions of certain genes in normal cells. Based on this evidence, several cDNA clones whose expression was down-regulated during the...
