The tumor-suppressing protein p53 has long been considered a valuable target—if only drug hunters could figure out how to hit it. Many research efforts aiming to leverage the capabilities of this ...
The tumor suppressor protein p53 plays a critical role in preventing cancer by regulating cell cycle, apoptosis, and genomic stability. However, mutations in the P53 gene are found in over 50% of ...
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have developed a new compound called d16 that can reduce tumor growth and overcome therapeutic resistance in mutant p53-bearing cancers in the lab. The ...
A new research paper was published in Oncotarget, Volume 16, on February 18, 2025, titled "Robust p53 phenotypes and prospective downstream targets in telomerase-immortalized human cells." Researchers ...
Design of a phase 1 trial of Listeria monocytogenes 11-T856-1313 tetanus toxoid (Lm-LLO-TT) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2025 ASCO Annual ...
The development of cancer after p53 inactivation is determined by a series of genomic changes that occur in four steps. The loss of heterozygosity of TP53 (the gene encoding p53 in humans, named Trp53 ...
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 ...
