The protein is implicated in a wide swath of cancers, but harnessing it for drug R&D is still a major scientific challenge.
In the 1970s, scientists knew that some viruses and chemicals caused cancer, but they didn’t know how. Arnold Levine, a biologist currently at the Institute for Advanced Study researched DNA viruses ...
Schematic illustrating the effects of p53C and M237I in driving the conversion of p63C and p73C droplets into amyloid aggregates at physiologically relevant temperatures. Heparin prevents the ...
As we age, our cells accumulate genetic changes—mutations—some of which open the door to cancer. Scientists call these ...
A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...
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 ...
