Ageing: The price of tumour suppression?
Gerardo Ferbeyre1 & Scott W. Lowe2
Abstract
The p53 protein works to suppress cancer, so one might think that bumping up the levels of this protein would be a good idea. But this isn't so — mice with too much p53 age prematurely.
The p53 gene is often touted as 'the most frequently mutated gene in human cancer'. As a result, a great deal is known about it.
