New control of the senescence barrier in breast cancer
Normal cells exposed to cancer-causing events respond by triggering cellular senescence, a stress response which halts cell proliferation and constitutes a protective anti-cancer barrier. We have uncovered a previously unknown signaling pathway implicating p21-activated kinase 4 (PAK4) in the contro...

| Summary: | Normal cells exposed to cancer-causing events respond by triggering cellular senescence, a stress response which halts cell proliferation and constitutes a protective anti-cancer barrier. We have uncovered a previously unknown signaling pathway implicating p21-activated kinase 4 (PAK4) in the control of senescence in breast cancer, via the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) subunit RELB and the CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBPβ). |
