Abstract excerpt
Normal somatic cells of higher organisms do not divide indefinitely. After a finite number of divisions, normal cells irreversibly cease proliferation by a process termed replicative or cellular senescence. Replicative senescence is controlled by multiple, dominant-acting genes about which very little is known. The only genes known to reactivate DNA synthesis in senescent cells are viral oncogenes encoding...
