Patterns of cell death triggered in two different cell lines by HypF‐N prefibrillar aggregates
16 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
The finding that aggregates of disease-unrelated proteins can induce cell death indicates that proteins may act as potential toxins. Cells experiencing toxic protein aggregates often display modifications of the redox status and ion balance, eventually leading to apoptosis; however, in some cases, tissue and cultured cell types die with features of necrosis. To elucidate the pathways leading to such different...
