Explores the definition, frequency, classification, and types of cancer, including carcinomas, sarcomas, hematopoietic malignancies, and neuroectodermal tumors.
Explores cellular senescence mechanisms induced by mitogenic signals, DNA damage, and oncogenes, emphasizing the role of key regulatory proteins and the impact on cell division.
Explores p53's pivotal role in cellular stability, DNA repair, and tumor suppression, emphasizing TP53 mutations and DNA double-strand break repair mechanisms.
Explores replicative immortality in cancer cells, focusing on telomere erosion, telomerase activity, and the role of p53 in maintaining genomic stability.
