The pharmacodynamics of the p53-Mdm2 targeting drug Nutlin: the role of gene-switching noise.

In this work we investigate, by means of a computational stochastic model, how tumor cells with wild-type p53 gene respond to the drug Nutlin, an agent that interferes with the Mdm2-mediated p53 regulation. In particular, we show how the stochastic gene-switching controlled by p53 can explain experi...
