Abstract excerpt
The inactivation of retinoblastoma (Rb) family members sensitizes cells to apoptosis. This cell death affects the development of mutant animals and also provides a critical constraint to the malignant potential of Rb mutant tumor cells. The extent of apoptosis caused by the inactivation of Rb is highly cell type and tissue specific, but the underlying reasons for this variation are poorly understood. Here, we...
