Peptide aptamers targeting mutant p53 induce apoptosis in tumor cells.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene frequently result in expression of p53 point mutants that accumulate in cancer cells and actively collaborate with tumor progression through the acquisition of novel properties. Interfering with mutant p53 functions may represent a valid alternative for blocking tumor growth and development of aggressive phenotypes. The interactions and activities of selected proteins...
