What Are the Therapeutic Implications of p53 in Toxicology?
The modulation of p53 activity presents potential therapeutic opportunities in the context of cancer prevention and treatment. Restoring p53 function in tumors with p53 mutations could enhance the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents and reduce the risk of toxicity. Moreover, identifying compounds that can protect or enhance p53 activity in individuals exposed to environmental toxins could lead to novel preventive strategies against toxin-induced cancers.
