The Bank of Laos governor announced on January 25, 2012 that the Bank of Laos would issue 100,000 Kip banknotes as a regular issue on February 1, 2012 (but dated 2011) to encourage Lao people to use the national currency instead of U.S. dollars and Thai baht.

CIP/KIP a model whereby CIP/KIP proteins bind to and inactivate CDK2 complexes in early G1; however, following production of Cyclin D, CIP/KIP proteins are removed and repurposed towards cyclin D-CDK stabilization. This sequestering then frees up Cyclin A-, E-CDK2 to hyperphosphorylate Rb and promote progression of the cell cycle. This model is supported by the finding that expression of either wild-type or catalytically inactive CDK4 can sequester CIP/KIP proteins resulting in cyclin E-CDK2 activation. This finding suggests that the ability of cyclinD-CDK complexes to sequester CIP/KIP proteins is predominates their inhibitory activity of CDK2. CIP/KIP proteins have been shown to regulate
