Rb at the Interface Between Cell Cycle and Apoptotic Decisions

Abstract excerpt

The retinoblastoma (RB) gene was the first tumor suppressor to be identified, and it continues to be the subject of intense scientific interest. Not only is the RB gene mutated in the rare eye tumor and some other cancers, the Rb protein is functionally inactivated in virtually all human cancers, suggesting that it plays a general role in cellular homeostasis. Rb initially was envisaged as a simple 'on-off'...
