Collapse of redox homeostasis during aging and stress

Mol Cell Oncol. 2015 Nov 11;3(2):e1091060. doi: 10.1080/23723556.2015.1091060. eCollection 2016 Mar.

Abstract

Coordination of the protein homeostasis network and redox states in eukaryotic cells is crucial for cellular and organismal fitness. By employing endogenous in vivo redox sensors we demonstrate that the redox state of the ER and cytosol is subject to profound changes upon proteotoxic challenges and during aging.
