Abstract: Bumping up amounts of the antitumor protein p53 protects mice against cancer, but it also accelerates aging. Now scientists reveal that beefing up the p53 force in a controlled manner can thwart cancer without speeding the animals' demise. Additional work is needed to verify that the mice don't age more rapidly than normal and that p53--and not another gene--underlies the effect.
