Combining expert storytelling with accessible science, it offers professionals and curious readers alike a compelling look at one of molecular biology’s most important breakthroughs. ## 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | 1472910524 | | Dimensions | 12.95 x 1.91 x 19.56 cm | | Edition | Reprint | | Isbn 10 | 9781472910523 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1472910523 | | Item Weight | 1.05 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print Length | 288 pages | | Publication Date | 5 November 2015 | | Publisher | BY | ## Images ![P53: The Gene That Cracked the Cancer Code - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816bPjKWsyL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Muy buena lectura *by on Reviewed in Spain 27 October 2024* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Revealing, but not encouraging *by on Reviewed in Germany 22 November 2023* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good. *by on Reviewed in India 12 July 2024* Good book for basic knowledge about p53 ## Frequently Bought Together - P53: The Gene That Cracked the Cancer Code - Why We Sleep: Unlocking The Power Of Sleep And Dreams --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/296668612-p53-the-gene-that-cracked-the-cancer-code](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/296668612-p53-the-gene-that-cracked-the-cancer-code) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
