SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Aug. 10 -- The University of California at Santa Cruz issued the following news release:
The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein acts like a gate in the cycle of cell growth and division--a gate that stays open in many types of cancer, allowing cells to multiply out of control. New findings by cancer researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, reveal the molecular mechanisms involved in opening and closing that gate.
