"Brothers-in-arms: How p53 and telomeres work together to stave off cancer"
"Based on our findings, we propose that the modifications to chromatin made by p53 enhance local DNA repair or protection," Lieberman said. "This would be yet another tumor suppressor function of p53, thus providing additional framework for just how important this gene is in protecting us from cancer."
"Summary:
New research shows that p53 is able to suppress accumulated DNA damage at telomeres. This is the first time this particular function of p53 has ever been described and shows yet another benefit of this vital gene."
