    Analysis of cyclins A, B1, D1 and E in breast cancer in relation to tumour grade and other prognostic factors

    The cell cycle is promoted by activation of cyclin dependent kinases (Cdks), which are regulated positively by cyclins and negatively by Cdk inhibitors. Proliferation of carcinoma is associated with altered re...
