Prion Protein Expression and Functional Importance in Developmental Angiogenesis: Role in Oxidative Stress and Copper Homeostasis
4 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
AIM: It has been convincingly shown that oxidative stress and toxicity by deregulated metals, such as copper (Cu), are tightly linked to the development of pre-eclampsia and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), the most threatening pathologies of human pregnancy. However, mechanisms implemented to control these effects are far from being understood. Among proteins that bind Cu and insure cellular protection...
