upin cells1upin mice1

2 studies
  1. HNRNPK induces cellular senescence in mice.

    “HNRNPK overexpression caused alterations in the nucleolar structure, resulting in p53-dependent nucleolar stress, cell cycle arrest, senescence, and bone marrow failure phenotype”

    AnimalsHNRNPK overexpression

    The tumor suppressor HNRNPK induces p53-dependent nucleolar stress to drive ribosomopathies

    The Journal of clinical investigation8 May 2025

  2. HNRNPK induces cellular senescence in cells.

    “Hnrnpk overexpression and nucleolar stress trigger cell cycle arrest and senescence of the cells”
