New research published in the journal Cell Reports sheds light on the role of the TP53 gene in preventing the spread of cancer. The TP53 gene codes tumor protein p53, a tumor suppressor that stops ...

Mutations in the tumor suppressor TP53 are a common cause of cancer, making the altered protein an attractive target for ...

A Northwestern Medicine-led study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation has uncovered why older individuals with ...

The TP53 gene provides instructions for making a protein called tumor protein p53 (or p53). This protein regulates cell division by keeping cells from growing and dividing too fast or in an ...

Men who have mutations in a gene called TP53 have a high risk of developing aggressive prostate cancer, a multicenter research team in the United States has found. The findings were reported in the ...

p53 mutants are among the most common protein variants expressed in cancer cells. Classifying TP53 status in human cancer as ‘inactivated’ or ‘loss-of-function’ is misleading. Many mutant p53 variants ...

Higgins is an advocate for people with Li-Fraumeni syndrome. I was born with an inherited cancer syndrome, Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS). A mutation on my Tp53 cancer suppressor gene makes me susceptible ...

Inhibiting the immune receptor protein TLR4 may not be a wise treatment strategy in all cancers, researchers have discovered, countering previously held beliefs, Countering previously held beliefs, ...
