Through engaging storytelling and expert insights, it reveals the gene’s role in cellular repair and cancer prevention, highlighting the scientific breakthroughs shaping personalized cancer therapies today. ## Description The BMA Medical Book Award-shortlisted story of the search for p53 - the most important gene in medicine. All of us have lurking in our DNA a most remarkable gene, which has a crucial job - it protects us from cancer. Known simply as p53, this gene constantly scans our cells to ensure that they grow and divide without mishap. If a cell makes a mistake in copying its DNA during the process of division, p53 stops it in its tracks, summoning a repair team before allowing the cell to carry on dividing. If the mistake is irreparable and the rogue cell threatens to grow out of control, p53 commands the cell to commit suicide. Cancer cannot develop unless p53 itself is damaged or prevented from functioning normally. This book tells the story of medical science's mission to unravel the mysteries of this crucial gene, and to get to the heart of what happens in our cells when they turn cancerous. Through the personal accounts of key researchers, p53: The Gene that Cracked the Cancer Code reveals the fascination of the quest for scientific understanding, as well as the excitement of the chase for new cures - the hype, the enthusiasm, the lost opportunities, the blind alleys, and the breakthroughs. And as the long-anticipated revolution in cancer treatment tailored to individual patient's symptoms begins to take off at last, p53 remains at the cutting edge. This tale of scientific discovery highlights the tremendous recent advances made in our understanding of cancer, a disease that affects more than one in three of us at some point in our lives. Review: Muy buena lectura - Un libro muy interesante sobre el descubrimiento, los experimentos, protagonistas y curiosidades del gen p53 sobre el cáncer. La narrativa es amena y se cuentan detalles técnicas con términos sencillos para entender incluso sin ser especialista o con conocimiento de biología molecular. Muy recomendable. Review: Revealing, but not encouraging - I first learned about P53 from online medical papers which helped me realize the significance of it. So I purchased the book to expand the understanding of the topic and the book certainly did help to grasp the functionality and relevance of the gene and its protein and their role in the immune system arsenal. The book does not provide any definite answers, recommendations or instructions, and it’s written more like a story of development and research, without too many technical details which are available online. Overall very informative and valuable insights in a complicated topic. ## Features - Bloomsbury SIGMA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #289,518 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #88 in Virology #135 in Oncology #178 in History of Medicine | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 72 Reviews | ## Images ![P53: The Gene That Cracked the Cancer Code - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816bPjKWsyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Muy buena lectura *by T***A on 27 October 2024* Un libro muy interesante sobre el descubrimiento, los experimentos, protagonistas y curiosidades del gen p53 sobre el cáncer.
