Anomalous Dense Liquid Condensates Host the Nucleation of Tumor Suppressor p53 Fibrils

Summary: About half of human cancers are associated with mutations of the tumor suppressor p53. Gained oncogenic functions of the mutants have been related to aggregation behaviors of wild-type and mutant p53. The thermodynamic and kinetic mechanisms of p53 aggregation are poorly understood. Here we...
