Scientists aim to repair or replace p53 to combat cancer
Wed, 19 Feb 2025 16:00:00 GMT
One such mechanism involves a protein called p53. Often dubbed the "guardian of the genome," this protein plays a pivotal role in ensuring that your cells grow, divide and die in an orderly fashion.
p53 is both your genome’s guardian and weakness against cancer – scientists are trying to repair or replace it when it goes awry

Learning about how p53 works has not only deepened how scientists understand cancer, but also provided promising avenues for new treatments. In my work as a cancer researcher, I study the ...
ATM: the p53 booster
Tue, 25 Jun 2024 14:14:00 GMT
The ATM gene (mutated in the disease ataxia telangiectasia) activates the p53 tumor suppressor protein in response to DNA damage, explaining the higher incidence of cancer in AT patients.
The p53 and RB tumour-suppressor pathways
