Abstract excerpt
An important biological mechanism contributing to the transformed phenotype of cancer cells is the ability to escape normal growth regulatory signals. In epithelial cells, transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) inhibits cell cycle progression in the G1-phase. The abnormal ability of cancer cells to escape TGFbeta-induced cell cycle inhibition may lead to deregulated mitosis, providing a growth advantage to...
