Where this comes from

Abstract

The story of p53 is illuminating. Despite widespread attention, the tumor-suppressive functions of wild-type p53 or the oncogenic activities of its cancer-associated mutants are still not fully understood, and our discoveries have not yet led to major therapeutic breakthroughs. There is still much to learn about this fascinating protein.
