Listen to more stories on the Noa app. The human cell is a miserable thing to study. Tens of trillions of them exist in the body, forming an enormous and intricate network that governs every disease ...

We have a variety of ways to terminate the life of a cell within our bodies. Some of these are programed processes within the cells themselves, while other deaths come from external processes.

"We had previously demonstrated that the p53 gene product--the most commonly mutated gene in human cancer--controls cell-cycle arrest in response to damage," says Kastan. In this paper the authors ...
