Abstract excerpt
The Rb/p16(Ink4a) and p53/p19Arf tumor suppressor pathways have been linked to diverse cancer-relevant processes, including those governing the cellular responses to telomere dysfunction. In this study, we sought to provide direct genetic evidence of a role for the Ink4a/Arf tumor suppressor gene, encoding both p16(Ink4a) and p19(Arf), in modulating the cellular and tissue phenotypes associated with telomere...
