Abstract excerpt
Activating mutations of the Ras is a moderately frequent event in oral carcinogenesis in Indian patients. Ras pathway has essential roles in regulation of various phases of the cell cycle, especially at G1 phase. Despite a large body of in vitro evidence, the multidimensional interaction between mutated Ras pathway and G1 cell cycle regulatory proteins in tumours in vivo is poorly determined. In the present...
