In a study published in Cancer Discovery, researchers from the Wistar Institute reported a key mechanism as to how p53 suppresses tumors. By comparing the mechanisms of wildtype and variant p53, the researchers discovered the mechanism by which p53 triggers immune function that, in turn, kills the tumor.
The Wistar Institute’s associate professor Mohamed Abdel-Mohsen demonstrated, with his lab and collaborators, a connection between viral damage to the gut and premature biological aging.
