Summary:
Researchers at Harvard Medical School have defined a molecular signaling pathway by which oxidative stress caused by the build-up of free radicals triggers cell death. The finding could pave the way for new drug targets and diagnostic strategies for age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer's Disease.
Commentary: Hopefully this finding will lead to the development of drug, genetic or cell replacement therapies to treat or cure diseases.
