Abstract excerpt
The selective pressure for disruption of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16(INK4a) in human cancer has been postulated to reflect its role in mediating growth arrest, both in response to telomere erosion (replicative senescence) and to oncogene-induced and other "stress" signals. Given the...
