Abstract excerpt
p21(CIP1/WAF1) is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases and, in normal tissues including squamous epithelia, has been associated with cell-cycle exit and differentiation. As shown in this pilot study, however, the majority of head-and-neck squamous-cell carcinomas (HNSCC) display aberrant p21(CIP1/WAF1) expression: of 42 tumors analyzed by immunohistochemical staining, 28 (67%) over-expressed the...
