5 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
Significance Doxorubicin is a DNA-damaging agent that is highly effective against various types of cancers, but a subset of treated patients develop heart failure for unclear genetic reasons. In the current study using p53 mouse models, low-dose doxorubicin as administered in the clinics surprisingly revealed that the absence of p53 increases susceptibility to doxorubicin cardiotoxicity while a mutant of p53 that...
