title: Myc and a Cdk2 senescence switch.
abstract: Cdk2 has been shown to have an unanticipated role in suppressing Myc-induced senescence. This has implications for how c-Myc overcomes failsafe mechanisms to induce tumorigenesis and suggests that the inhibition of Cdk2 may have therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of cancer.
