Cryptochromes are transcriptional regulators of the circadian clock in mammals, and genetic loss of cryptochromes reduces p53-associated cancer risk in mice. Here the authors report the discovery of small molecule M47, which destabilizes cryptochrome 1 and extends the lifespan of p53 knock-out mice.
