Vector1,

if I recall correctly - I am out of science now for almost 10 years -
p53 is a protein, which controls the cell cycle. When it is damaged, the cell cycle, i.e. cell division is running on and on. That means malign growth. Hence you have to take care that the correct protein is expressed again. There is a whole group of similar proteins coded for by the so called "tumor suppressor genes".

Thank you for making me aware of this convenient access to news inside silicon investor. The clicks worked.
The press article actually does not contain further information.
