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 ...
Research from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and the National Institute of Science and Technology for Structural Biology and Bioimaging (INBEB) in Brazil has uncovered a critical ...
Researchers identified a novel mechanism by which expression of the tumor suppressor p53 paradoxically promotes liver cancer development in patients with chronic liver disease. By generating a mouse ...
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 ...
Researchers in Class of 1942 Professor of Chemistry Matthew D. Shoulders' lab have uncovered a sinister hidden mechanism that can allow cancer cells to survive (and, in some cases, thrive) even when ...
Figure 8: Regulation of ALDH3A1 and NECTIN4 by p53. Researchers Jessica J. Miciak, Lucy Petrova, Rhythm Sajwan, Aditya Pandya, Mikayla Deckard, Andrew J. Munoz, and Fred Bunz from the Sidney Kimmel ...
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered that mutant KRAS and p53, the most frequently mutated genes in pancreatic cancer, interact through the CREB1 protein to ...
Scientists have recently shed some light on exactly why elephants, one of the biggest animals on the planet, paradoxically experience unusually low rates of cancer. The research found these remarkable ...
Researchers have elucidated the role of the p53 gene in ulcerative colitis. The study suggests a potential new drug target to stop disease progression to cancer. Researchers in the lab of Michael ...
