Mouse models uncap novel roles of SSBs

Cell Res. 2013 Jun;23(6):744-5. doi: 10.1038/cr.2013.63. Epub 2013 May 7.

Abstract

Three recently published reports, including one in Cell Research, generated Ssb1 knockout mice and demonstrated critical roles of this protein in regulating skeletogenesis, telomere homeostasis and tumor suppression.
