    p53 promotes peroxisomal fatty acid β-oxidation to repress purine biosynthesis and mediate tumor suppression

    The metabolic pathways through which p53 functions as a potent tumor suppressor are incompletely understood. Here we report that, by associating with the Vitamin D receptor (VDR), p53 induces numerous genes en...
