ROS-mediated mechanisms of autophagy stimulation and their relevance in cancer therapy
13 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
Mounting evidence suggests that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are multifaceted signaling molecules implicated in a variety of cellular programs during physiological as well as pathological conditions. Recently, ROS produced endogenously, by deranged metabolism of cancer cells, or exogenously, by ROS-generating drugs, have been shown to promote macroautophagy, a lysosomal pathway of self-degradation with essential...
