Role of the Cell Cycle Re-Initiation in DNA Damage Response of Post-Mitotic Cells and Its Implication in the Pathogenesis of Neurodegenerative Diseases
27 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
Neurodegenerative diseases are often associated with both normal and premature aging. Resumption of the cell cycle by neurons induced by DNA damage may lead to their apoptosis, which contributes to the degeneration of neuronal tissue. Cell cycle and DNA replication proteins are frequently found in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. Oxidative stress, which is considered to play an important role in aging...
