Abstract
The p53 tumor suppressor protein acts as a major defense against cancer. Among its most distinctive features is the ability to elicit both apoptotic death and cell cycle arrest. In this issue of Cell, Das et al. (2007) and Tanaka et al. (2007) provide new insights into the mechanisms that dictate the life and death decisions of p53.
