Senescence comes of age (original) (raw)

Nature Medicine volume 11, pages 920–922 (2005)Cite this article

Normal cells can respond to expression of activated oncogenes by initiating cellular senescence, a permanent state of proliferative arrest. But whether this process reflects a relevant anticancer mechanism has been debated. Several studies now show that oncogene-induced senescence can occur in vivo and provides a bona fide barrier to tumorigenesis.
