Abstract
Much has been written and said about the links between the Ink4a-Arf locus, cellular senescence and stem-cell maintenance. Standing modestly in the shadows of these superstars of tumor suppression, the closely linked Ink4b gene is now emerging as a significant player in these events, and its regulation by a histone demethylase could provide new insights into how this remarkable locus is controlled.
