Tumor Suppressor Genes, Extended

The idea
Tumor suppressor genes, homed at Bio 0899, reappear as regulation examples: a disabling mutation removes the restraint on division this framework relies on.
In practice
The p53 tumor suppressor, per Bio 0899, halts a damaged cell's division; a disabling mutation lets it keep dividing.
Where people slip
This entry extends Bio 0899 into this unit's regulation framework, alongside Bio 1339 — it does not relock either term.
