Abstract excerpt
Appropriate balance between proliferation and apoptosis is critical for mammary gland development and is often altered during tumorigenesis. Carcinogens like radiation induce DNA damage and activate protective responses such as cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. We used mice carrying Brca2(-/-) and/or p53(-/-) mutations to evaluate the individual and combined effects of these genes on cell proliferation and...
