Abstract
Compared with many normal tissues, cancer cells are highly sensitized to apoptotic signals, and survive only because they have acquired lesions — such as loss of p53 — that prevent or impede cell death. We are now beginning to understand the complex mechanisms that regulate whether or not a cell dies in response to p53 — insights that will ultimately contribute to the development of therapeutic strategies to repair the apoptotic p53 response in cancers.
