Abstract excerpt
The p53 protein plays an important role in cancer prevention. In response to stress signals, p53 controls essential cell functions by regulating expression of its target genes. Full or partial loss of the p53 function in cancer cells usually results from mutations of the p53 gene. Some of them are temperature-dependent, allowing reactivation of the p53 function in certain temperature. These mutations can alter...
