Mitochondrial mechanisms of oxidative stress and apoptosis

Abstract: While it has long been appreciated that mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to metabolic failure and necrotic cell death, more recent work has highlighted the central role that mitochondria play in oxidative stress and apoptosis, including their involvement in neurodegeneration.
