Further to the posting from Jim Cummins this morning (?), I would add
that several groups have now described the inhibitor of DNA
replication that seems to operate in senescent cells. See the latest
issue of Cell (December 1993), of Science and of Nature (at the end
of 1993) and the first issue of Experimental cell Research, January
1994 (an article by Jim Smith, form Houston, USA).
This is an important step I think in beginning to understand
the mechanics used to prevent senescent cells from replicating.
A Happy New Year to you all!!!!!!!
