Palbociclib-mediated cell cycle arrest can occur in the absence of the CDK inhibitors p21 and p27

The use of CDK4/6 inhibitors in the treatment of a wide range of cancers is an area of ongoing investigation. Despite their increasing clinical use, there is limited understanding of the determinants of sensitivity and resistance to these drugs. Recent data have cast doubt on how CDK4/6 inhibitors a...
