What is the p53 tumor suppressor gene?

I don't care about how macho or brave or unafraid of knife-throwing vigilantes you are. At some point in your life, you need protection to prolong your survival. For rock stars, it's a bodyguard.

For SWAT teams, it may be bulletproof vests. Perhaps the greatest protector of all is the one that you can't buy in any store: It's the p53 tumor suppressor gene, which has the job of recognizing when your cells are at risk of developing into cancer and doing what it can to put a stop to it. Its job— that of biological guard dog and computer spell-checker rolled into one mean gene—is to protect your body.

Though it may seem like an oxymoron, cancer is really about living forever. Why? Because that's what cancer cells want to do: live forever.

Unfortunately, that comes at the expense of our cells—meaning that inside one of our biggest scourges lies the potential of infinite life. Now, the reason why cancer affects us as we age has to do with that p53 system; the p53 system regulates all our cells and causes premature aging, which we'll explain in a moment. As our immune systems weaken from aging it makes us much more vulnerable to cancer, the second leading killer.

Combine those factors with the fact that you may have a weakened immune system unable to fight off toxins, and you've got a perfect storm of cancer-forming factors.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
