Published: March 2024

The story of p53 is illuminating. Despite widespread attention, the tumor-suppressive functions of wild-type p53 or the oncogenic activities of its cancer-associated mutants are still not fully understood, and our discoveries have not yet led to major therapeutic breakthroughs. There is still much to learn about this fascinating protein.

Indiscriminate usage and mismanagement of chemicals in the agricultural and industrial sectors have contaminated different environmental compartments. Exposure to these persistent and hazardous pollutants like heavy metals, endocrine disruptors, aromatic hydrocarbons, and pesticides can result in various health adversities, including cancer. Chemical carcinogens follow a similar pattern of carcinogenesis, like oxidative stress, chromosomal aberration, DNA double-strand break, mismatch repair, and misregulation of oncogenic and/or tumor suppressors.
