abstract：:Akt/PKB plays a pivotal role in cell survival and proliferation. Previously, we reported that UV-irradiation induces extensive cell death in Akt2(-/-) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) while Akt1(-/-) MEFs show cell cycle arrest. Here, we find that Akt1(-/-) MEFs exhibit phenotypic changes characteristics of senescen...
