The retinoblastoma protein pathway in cell cycle control and cancer

Experimental Cell Research
J BartekJ Lukas

Abstract

Recent discoveries in diverse fields of biomedical research have merged to reveal the molecular basis of cell cycle control and a critical role of subverting this homeostatic mechanism in cancer development. At the heart of these processes lies a late G1 checkpoint governed by the "RB pathway" whose molecular composition, functions, and cancer-associated defects are briefly evaluated in this review. This exciting new knowledge raises a plethora of conceptual issues in cell biology, with potential practical implications for biotechnology and medicine.

Bioinformatics in Biomedicine

Bioinformatics in biomedicine incorporates computer science, biology, chemistry, medicine, mathematics and statistics. Discover the latest research on bioinformatics in biomedicine here.

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
