摘要
Retinoblastoma has contributed much to the understanding of cancer. The protein product of the RB gene, pRB, is a multifaceted regulator of transcription which controls the cell cycle, differentiation and apoptosis in normal development of specific tissues. Elucidating the mechanisms in which pRB plays a critical role will enable novel therapies and strategies for prevention, not only for retinoblastoma, but for cancer in general.
