Hypothermia Effectively Treats Tumors with Temperature-Sensitive p53 Mutations.

Abstract excerpt

The p53 tumor suppressor is frequently inactivated by mutations in cancer. Most p53 mutations are located in the DNA-binding domain, causing local disruption of DNA-binding surface or global misfolding. Rescuing the structural defect of mutant p53 is an attractive therapeutic strategy, but its potential remains unproven due to a lack of drugs capable of efficiently rescuing misfolded p53. Although mutant p53 in...
