The role of p53 as a target for novel cancer therapies

The p53 tumor suppressor protein is encoded by TP53, the most frequently mutated gene in cancer. A review article published in Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology by Professor Klas G Wiman and colleagues at the Department of ...

Genomic data shed light on how lymphoma can turn lethal

A study by researchers at Columbia and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology is helping to clarify how low-grade lymphoma changes as it develops into a more aggressive tumor, which could lead to the development ...

Novel therapeutic target overcomes resistance to radiation therapy

A new study finds that radiation therapy (RT) suppresses a key protein called bone morphogenetic protein and activin membrane-bound inhibitor (BAMBI) and activates immune suppressive cells. These effects dampen the capacity ...

Study identifies strategy to avoid resistance to cancer therapy

Resistance to therapies is one of the obstacles to overcome in cancer treatments. Understanding the mechanisms of this resistance is essential to design strategies that favor tumor cell death. A study led by the Protein Kinases ...
