P53 The Gene That Cracked The Cancer Code

EurekAlert!: Researchers identify Achilles’ heel in lung cancer through common p53 genetic mutation

A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...

Researchers identify Achilles’ heel in lung cancer through common p53 genetic mutation

Researchers have elucidated the role of the p53 gene in ulcerative colitis. The study suggests a potential new drug target to stop disease progression to cancer. Researchers in the lab of Michael ...

Researchers uncover why the TP53 gene is especially prone to mutations in cancer

P53 The Gene That Cracked The Cancer Code 8

TP53 mutations are crucial in cancer development and treatment response, influenced by genetic and environmental factors. In CLL and AML, TP53 serves as a significant prognostic marker, affecting ...

P53 The Gene That Cracked The Cancer Code 9

The gene p53 acts as a tumor suppressor and often is called the ‘guardian of the genome.’ This gene is central to maintaining genomic stability, which prevents mutations from accumulating and leading ...

As we age, our cells accumulate genetic changes—mutations—some of which open the door to cancer. Scientists call these mutations "oncogenic," meaning "tumor-producing." By our senior years, we each ...
