Abstract excerpt
Loss of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27(Kip1) leads to an overall increase in animal growth, pituitary tumors, and hyperplasia of hematopoietic organs, yet it is unknown whether all cells function autonomously in response to p27(Kip1) activity or whether certain cells take cues from their neighbors. In addition, there is currently no genetic evidence that tumor suppression by p27(Kip1) is...
