p53 Pro-Oxidant Activity in the Central Nervous System: Implication in Aging and Neurodegenerative Diseases
20 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
Recent advances in delineating the biological functions of p53 had shed the light on its key role in the multifacets of cellular homeostasis. After its activation, via DNA damage, oxidative stress, or aberrant expression of oncogenes, p53 transduces its classical effect through several mechanisms comprising activation of the DNA repair machinery, cell cycle arrest, and initiation of apoptosis or senescence. In...
