title: McBindall--a better name for CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins?
abstract: C/EBP-related transcription factors regulate the balance between cell proliferation and mitotic growth arrest during terminal differentiation. Three new studies give evidence that this regulation is mediated by protein:protein interactions completely distinct from the role of C/EBPs in gene expression.
