New Study Shows Promise for Preventing Therapy Resistance in Tumor Cells
A new study led by University of Kentucky researchers suggests that activating the tumor suppressor p53 in normal cells causes them to secrete Par-4, another potent tumor suppressor protein that induces cell death in cancer cells. This finding may help researchers decipher how to inhibit the growth of tumors that have become resistant to other treatments.
Loss of the tumor suppressor p53 often contributes to therapy resistance in tumors.
