7 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Two recent genetic studies have identified a critical role for cyclophilin D, a component of the mitochondrial membrane permeability transition pore, in cell death induced by calcium, reactive oxygen species, and cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury. Transgenic mice lacking cyclophilin D developed normally but showed reduced infarct size after coronary artery ligation and reperfusion. Cells from the knockout mice...
