Transducing oxidative stress to death signals in neurons

Accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been associated with aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Nevertheless, how elevated ROS levels cause neurodegeneration is unclear. In this issue, Wakatsuki et al. (2015. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201506102) delineate how oxidative...

Sumario:Accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been associated with aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Nevertheless, how elevated ROS levels cause neurodegeneration is unclear. In this issue, Wakatsuki et al. (2015. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201506102) delineate how oxidative stress is transduced into death signals, leading to neuronal apoptosis and axonal degeneration.
