Abstract
Although known to induce cellular senescence, an important tumour suppressor mechanism, mutation of CDKN1A - the gene encoding p21 (also known as WAF1 or CIP1) - is rare in human cancers. Now, a study reports a previously unappreciated oncogenic effect of p21 overexpression that shapes cancer genome evolution through induction of replication stress.Entities:
