Abstract excerpt
p53 mediates apoptosis of cells after DNA damage including tumor cells after radiation or chemotherapy. Survival of isolated cancer cells after therapy leads to recurrence of therapy-resistant tumors. We now show that for some melanoma, sarcoma, or fibroblastic cell types that survive without integrin-mediated adhesion, apoptosis in response to DNA damage requires cell adhesion. This effect correlates with rapid...
