Abstract excerpt
Differentiation of most cell types requires both establishment of G1 arrest and the induction of a program related to achieving quiescence. We have chosen to study the differentiation of oligodendrocyte cells to determine the role of p27 and p21 in this process. Here we report that both p27 and p21 are required for the appropriate differentiation of these cells. p27 is required for proper withdrawal from the cell...
