Abstract

Gong et al. report that in contrast to promoting apoptosis in hyperthermia conditions, both zebrafish and human tumor repressor p53 protect cells from death by preventing a hyperreactive heat shock response at 40°C, the heatstroke threshold temperature (HTT). They may provide a strategy for individualized therapy for p53-deficient cancers.
