PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania, May 5 (TNSjou) -- The Wistar Institute issued the following news release:
The p53 gene is one of the most important in the human genome: the only role of the p53 protein that this gene encodes is to sense when a tumor is forming and to kill it. While the gene was discovered more than four decades ago, researchers have so far been unsuccessful at determining exactly how it works.
