Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled “p53—Oncogene, Tumor Suppressor Gene, Guardian of the Genome and the Cell”, is dedicated to developing understanding of the ways in which the p53 protein contributes to regulating cell responses to stimuli originating from the inside of the cell or the cellular environment. Further, its featured works explore how the perturbation of this function affects disease development and anticancer therapy. Discovered 45 years ago, the p53 protein is the most studied of all proteins involved in both tumor formation and treatment. The reason for such an elevated position is the participation of p53 in nearly all types of cellular stress coordinating cellular responses to these stimuli. Both original research articles and comprehensive reviews are welcome for submission.
