Description:
Mitochondrial uncoupling reveals a novel therapeutic opportunity for p53-defective cancers Mitochondrial uncoupling reveals a novel therapeutic opportunity for p53-defective cancers, Published online: 26 September 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-05805-1 Several challenges are involved in direct targeting of mutant p53, while targeting altered fitness of cells with loss of wild type p53 is an alternative approach. Here they identify niclosamide to be selectively toxic to p53 deficient cells through a previously unknown mitochondrial uncoupling mechanism.
