What Therapeutic Strategies Target p53 in the Context of Toxicology?
In therapeutic development, restoring p53 function in cancer cells is a promising strategy. Several compounds are being investigated for their ability to reactivate mutant p53, thus reinstating its tumor suppressor function. Additionally, understanding p53's pathway can aid in the development of drugs that mimic p53's action or enhance its response to DNA damage, offering potential treatments for cancers linked to environmental and chemical exposures.
