Oxidative Stress, Bone Marrow Failure, and Genome Instability in Hematopoietic Stem Cells
22 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can be generated by defective endogenous reduction of oxygen by cellular enzymes or in the mitochondrial respiratory pathway, as well as by exogenous exposure to UV or environmental damaging agents. Regulation of intracellular ROS levels is critical since increases above normal concentrations lead to oxidative stress and DNA damage. A growing body of evidence indicates that the...
