Article Title: | Negative regulators of growth |
Abstract: | The proliferation of cells is regulated by countervailing positively- and negatively-acting signaling networks. The anti-proliferative signals, the study of which has been much neglected until recently, are often conveyed by growth-inhibitory peptides. Elements that mediate the cellular response to growth inhibitors are encoded by tumor suppressor genes that if lost may lead to the runaway growth of the cancer cell. © 1992 Current Biology Ltd. |
