p53 at the crossroads between stress response signaling and tumorigenesis: From molecular mechanisms to therapeutic opportunities
The p53 tumor suppressor is a transcription factor that integrates signals from numerous stress-activated signaling pathways and regulates the expression of specific target genes. p53 activation triggers a variety of cellular responses that ensure tumor suppression, including cell cycle arrest, apop...

The p53 tumor suppressor is a transcription factor that integrates signals from numerous stress-activated signaling pathways and regulates the expression of specific target genes. p53 activation triggers a variety of cellular responses that ensure tumor suppression, including cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and senescence.

Mutation of p53 protein or inactivation of the p53 pathway is the most frequent alteration found in human cancer.
