Deskripsi

Efficient therapeutic strategies to target mutant-p53 cancers are needed. Here, the authors demonstrate the molecular mechanism through which mutant-p53 tumours are susceptible to oxidative damage and propose a potential strategy for targeting such cancers by inhibiting the SLC7A11-glutathione axis.
