Ras and pRb: the relationship gets yet more intimate.
Ras and pRb are key regulators of a plethora of cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, and tumorigenesis. Adding to several previously established lines of communication between the two, in this issue of Cancer Cell, Shamma et al. resolve a new signaling network involved in cellular senescence and tumor suppression.
