Abstract excerpt
Research on cell senescence and immortalization of murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) has revealed important clues about genetic control of senescence in humans. To investigate senescence and genetic alterations in the p53 pathway that lead to senescence bypass in culture, we compared the behavior of MEFs from wild-type mice with MEFs from Hupki mice, which harbor a humanized p53 gene. We found that humanizing...
