Abstract excerpt
Most human tumors harbor mutations that misregulate the early phases of the cell cycle. Here, we summarize genetic evidence, mostly obtained in our laboratory using strains of gene-targeted mice, that provides direct experimental support for a role of Cdk4 in tumor development. Moreover, these genetic studies challenge some well-established concepts regarding the role of Cdks during the early phases of the cell...
