Disarming mutant p53 oncogenic function.

Abstract excerpt

In the last decade intensive research has confirmed the long standing hypothesis that some p53 point mutants acquire novel activities able to cooperate with oncogenic mechanisms. Particular attention has attracted the ability of several such mutants to actively promote the development of aggressive and metastatic tumors in vivo. This knowledge opens a new dimension on rational therapy design, suggesting novel...
