Oxyradicals as Signal Transducers

  • Chapter
Oxidative Stress and Signal Transduction

Abstract

Control of the balance between the life and death of cells is crucial to the proper development of tissues and organs. The proliferation of cells is highly orchestrated with a complexity of molecular checks and balances, but a cell that will not stop dividing presents problems as it can become a tumor. In contrast, a genetically programmed cell death mechanism, apoptosis, regulates cell numbers and is a means whereby unwanted or potentially harmful cells are eliminated. Accurate control of cellular life and death involves a plethora of molecular signals and switches, and an essential aspect is how these are activated and terminated at precisely the correct moment.1
