Features:
5-day diet to mimic fasting without fasting.
FMDs are caloric-restricted plant–based diets containing low proteins, low sugar and high fats which represent a more feasible and safer option to water-only fasting.
Fasting modality                         Approx CRIS
--------------------------------------   ----------
Time-restricted eating (12–16 h)          –3 to –4
Early time-restricted eating (eTRE)        –4
Intermittent fasting (24 h 1–2x/week)     –4
Periodic fasting / FMD                    –4 to –5*
Calorie restriction (chronic)             –3 (risk tradeoffs)

Fasting-Mimicking Diet (FMD; ~5-day low-protein, low-calorie cycle) Cancer vs Normal Cell Effects
Rank Pathway / Axis Cancer Cells Normal Cells Label Primary Interpretation Notes
1 Insulin / IGF-1 signaling ↓ IGF-1 signaling (chronic stress) ↓ IGF-1 with regenerative priming Driver Sustained growth factor suppression Repeated IGF-1 lowering impairs tumor growth programs
2 AMPK → mTOR nutrient sensing ↓ mTOR; ↑ AMPK (growth inhibition) ↓ mTOR; ↑ AMPK (maintenance mode) Driver Prolonged anabolic suppression More sustained but less acute than STF
3 Autophagy / mitophagy ↑ autophagy → loss of tumor robustness ↑ autophagy → rejuvenation Driver Cellular renewal vs destabilization Repeated cycles promote organelle quality control
4 Mitochondrial metabolism ↓ metabolic resilience ↑ mitochondrial fitness Secondary Energy efficiency divergence Normal cells adapt better across cycles
5 Inflammatory signaling (NF-κB / cytokines) ↓ pro-tumor inflammation ↓ systemic inflammation Secondary Anti-inflammatory milieu Inflammation reduction contributes to chemopreventive effects
6 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) ↑ ROS (secondary, context-dependent) ↓ ROS Secondary Metabolism-linked redox shift ROS effects are indirect and less pronounced than STF
7 NRF2 antioxidant response ↔ modest activation ↑ NRF2 (protective) Adaptive Stress adaptation NRF2 supports normal-cell recovery between cycles
8 Cell cycle / regeneration ↓ proliferation ↑ regeneration post-cycle Phenotypic Degrowth vs regeneration FMD uniquely promotes regeneration upon refeeding


P53, P53-Guardian of the Genome: Click to Expand ⟱
Source: TCGA
Type: Proapototic
TP53 is the most commonly mutated gene in human cancer. TP53 is a gene that encodes for the p53 tumor suppressor protein ; TP73 (Chr.1p36.33) and TP63 (Chr.3q28) genes that encode transcription factors p73 and p63, respectively, are TP53 homologous structures.
p53 is a crucial tumor suppressor protein that plays a significant role in regulating the cell cycle, maintaining genomic stability, and preventing tumor formation. It is often referred to as the "guardian of the genome" due to its role in protecting cells from DNA damage and stress.
TP53 gene, which encodes the p53 protein, is one of the most frequently mutated genes in human cancers.
Overexpression of MDM2, an inhibitor of p53, can lead to decreased p53 activity even in the presence of wild-type p53.
In some cancers, particularly those with mutant p53, there may be an overexpression of the p53 protein.
Cancers with overexpression: Breast, lung, colorectal, overian, head and neck, Esophageal, bladder, pancreatic, and liver.
