p53-Dependent accelerated senescence induced by ionizing radiation in breast tumour cells
1 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Ionizing radiation has been reported to promote accelerated or premature senescence in both normal and tumour cell lines. The current studies were designed to characterize the accelerated senescence response to radiation in the breast tumour cell in terms of its dependence on functional p53 and its relationship to telomerase activity, telomere lengths, expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT,...
