Abstract excerpt
Recent studies suggest that low levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) often modulate normal intracellular signalling pathways, determine cell fates and control cell proliferation. We found that infection of astrocytes with the neuropathogenic retrovirus ts1, a mutant of Moloney murine leukemia retrovirus, upregulated ROS at low levels during the early phase of infection. This upregulation of intracellular ROS...
