MK2 Inhibition Induces p53-Dependent Senescence in Glioblastoma Cells

MAPK-activated protein kinase 2 (MK2) has diverse roles in cancer. In response to chemotherapy, MK2 inhibition is synthetically lethal to p53-deficiency. While <i>TP53</i> deletion is rare in glioblastomas, these tumors often carry <i>TP53</i> mutations. Here, we show that MK...
