The protein is implicated in a wide swath of cancers, but harnessing it for drug R&D is still a major scientific challenge.

As we age, our cells accumulate genetic changes—mutations—some of which open the door to cancer. Scientists call these ...

The gene p53 acts as a tumor suppressor and often is called the ‘guardian of the genome.’ This gene is central to maintaining genomic stability, which prevents mutations from accumulating and leading ...

A research team at the University of Konstanz, led by toxicologist Ivano Amelio, has demonstrated how differently individual mutations of the tumor suppressor p53 affect pancreatic carcinomas. When ...

The gene p53 acts as a tumor suppressor and is often called the guardian of the genome. This gene is central to maintaining genomic stability, which prevents mutations from accumulating and leading to ...

In a recent perspective published in the journal Cell Death and Differentiation, researchers in France, Germany, and Sweden discussed the unique mutational spectrum of the transformation-related ...
