Cancer: Ins and outs of tumour control
Maria S. Soengas1
Abstract
When a potentially dangerous cell can't be repaired, it must be either stopped or killed. Premature senescence of cancerous cells is one such 'stop' mechanism, in which immune mediators play an unexpected part.
Various mutations can make normal mammalian cells cancerous. Luckily, several built-in mechanisms that inhibit tumour formation are in place.
