Strength in numbers: preventing rereplication via multiple mechanisms in eukaryotic cells

EE Arias, JC Walter - Genes & development, 2007 - genesdev.cshlp.org
In eukaryotic cells, prereplication complexes (pre-RCs) are assembled on chromatin in the
G1 phase, rendering origins of DNA replication competent to initiate DNA synthesis. When …

Oncogene-induced senescence is part of the tumorigenesis barrier imposed by DNA damage checkpoints

J Bartkova, N Rezaei, M Liontos, P Karakaidos… - Nature, 2006 - nature.com
Recent studies have indicated the existence of tumorigenesis barriers that slow or inhibit the
