Driving the cell cycle to cancerMarcos Malumbres
Molecular Oncology Programme, Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncologicas, Madrid, Spain
Adv Exp Med Biol 532:1-11. 2003..These models are being used now to understand how deregulation of these Cdks leads to cancer development and will be a valuable tool to design and validate new therapeutic strategies against tumour development...
Genetic rescue of Cdk4 null mice restores pancreatic beta-cell proliferation but not homeostatic cell numberJavier Martin
Molecular Oncology Program, Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncologicas, Melchor Fernandez Almagro 3, 28029 Madrid, Spain
Oncogene 22:5261-9. 2003..Thus, mammalian Cdk4 is not only involved in controlling proliferation of specific cell types but may play a wider role in establishing homeostatic cell numbers...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 108:5015-20. 2011..Moreover, they may serve as a tool to evaluate the potential therapeutic efficacy of B-RAF inhibitors and establish the precise window at which they could be effective against this congenital syndrome...
The Ink4/Arf locus is a barrier for iPS cell reprogrammingHan Li
Tumor Suppression Group, Spanish National Cancer Research Centre CNIO, 3 Melchor Fernandez Almagro Street, Madrid E 28029, Spain
Nature 460:1136-9. 2009..All together, we conclude that the silencing of Ink4/Arf locus is rate-limiting for reprogramming, and its transient inhibition may significantly improve the generation of iPS cells...
