Abstract excerpt
We hypothesize that degradation of controls that normally act to inhibit cell proliferation is an early step in carcinogenesis. This alteration gives rise to initiated clones that display a selective growth advantage over normal cells when subjected to appropriate growth-promoting influences. In cell culture, such initiated cells also may display a selective growth advantage that lets them proliferate under...
