title: p53 and Rb: their cellular roles.
abstract: Within the past year considerable new insights have been gained into the roles the p53 and retinoblastoma tumour suppressors play in determining the fate of cells through their regulation of cell cycle progression, apoptosis and gene expression. Key advances have been achieved in the identification and characterization of functional domains and through functional knockout studies.
