14-3-3σ gene silencing during melanoma progression and its role in cell cycle control and cellular senescence

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The family of 14-3-3 proteins plays an important role in cancer biology by interfering with intracellular signalling pathways and cell cycle checkpoints. The 14-3-3σ isoform acts as a tumor suppressor and is often inactivated during...
