Abstract excerpt
Many normal cells respond to potentially oncogenic stimuli by undergoing cellular senescence, a state of irreversibly arrested proliferation and altered differentiated function. Cellular senescence very likely evolved to suppress tumorigenesis. In support of this idea, it is regulated by several tumor suppressor genes. At the heart of this regulation is p53. p53 is essential for the senescence response to short...
