Targeting the MDM2-p53 Interaction for Cancer Therapy
1 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
p53 is a powerful tumor suppressor and is an attractive cancer therapeutic target because it can be functionally activated to eradicate tumors. The gene encoding p53 protein is mutated or deleted in half of human cancers, which inactivates its tumor suppressor activity.
