Ras-Induced Senescence and its Physiological Relevance in Cancer

Abstract excerpt

Activated oncogenes like Ras have traditionally been thought as promoting unrestrained proliferation; therefore, the concept of oncogene-induced senescence has been, and still is, controversial. The counter-intuitive notion that activation of oncogenes leads to the prevention of cellular proliferation has initially been fueled by in vitro studies using ectopic expression of activated Ras in primary fibroblasts....
