The tyrosine kinase c-Abl regulates p73 in apoptotic response to cisplatin-induced DNA damage
Cancer chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin exert their cytotoxic effect by inducing DNA damage and activating programmed cell death (apoptosis). The tumour-suppressor protein p53 is an important activato...
