Abstract excerpt
p53 acts as a central mediator of the cellular response to stressful stimuli. The growth-suppressive function of p53 is lost with mutation and this occurs commonly in human cancer. In addition to suppressing cancer development and progression, wild-type p53 further confers chemo-sensitivity and radio-sensitivity upon tumor cells. Accumulated evidence over the last two decades that wild-type p53 activity is...
