The impact of p53-mediated cell fate decisions on tissue homeostasis and organismal longevity: In the presence of severe DNA damage, effectors triggered by p53 cause transient cell growth arrest, apoptosis or senescence, which in turn promote tissue atrophy and organismal aging. In contrast, loss of p53 function prevents critical cell fate decisions and dramatically favors cancer.
