A new study has, for the first time, settled the debate about how a mutated protein present in half of all human cancers drives tumor growth. The discovery will not only facilitate a rethink of the ...
The tumor suppressor protein p53 plays a critical role in preventing cancer by regulating cell cycle, apoptosis, and genomic stability. However, mutations in the P53 gene are found in over 50% of ...
A new hypothesis article was published in Oncotarget (Volume 17) on January 3, 2026, titled “Hypothesis: HPV E6 and COVID ...
In the 1970s, scientists knew that some viruses and chemicals caused cancer, but they didn’t know how. Arnold Levine, a biologist currently at the Institute for Advanced Study researched DNA viruses ...
In a recent perspective published in the journal Cell Death and Differentiation, researchers in France, Germany, and Sweden discussed the unique mutational spectrum of the transformation-related ...
GMCL1-dependent degradation of 53BP1 suppresses mitotic surveillance, tuning p53 activation thresholds that govern cell fate decisions and cellular responses after mitosis.
Mutations in the tumor suppressor TP53 are a common cause of cancer, making the altered protein an attractive target for ...
