Abstract excerpt
The p53 biomolecule is critical for facile antitumor response in cancer therapy. Once fully activated, p53 will kill tumor cells by activating programmed cell death (PCD), such as apoptosis and ferroptosis, and inducing immunogenic cell death. It is not surprising, therefore, that in about 50% of cancers p53 is mutated and non-functional, which induces drug resistance. Paradoxically, many cancers harboring the...
