TLDR
Estimates can be used to more fully understand the redox biochemistry that results from oxidative stress, which hopefully will provide a rationale and understanding of the cellular mechanisms associated with cell growth and development, signaling, and reductive or oxidative stress.

The Utility of N,N-Biotinyl Glutathione Disulfide in the Study of Protein S-Glutathiolation

TL;DR: Biotin-GSSG is a useful tool in the investigation of protein S-glutathiolation and offers significant advantages over conventional methods or antibody-based strategies, and may find widespread utility in the study of disease or redox signaling models where GSSG accumulation occurs.

Synergistic Cisplatin/Doxorubicin Combination Chemotherapy for Multidrug-Resistant Cancer via Polymeric Nanogels Targeting Delivery

TL;DR: The stimuli-responsive polymeric nanogels (<100 nm in size) based on poly(acrylic acid) were designed as codelivery system for doxorubicin and cisplatin to overcome drug resistance to achieve synergistic effect and minimize drug dose for cancer treatment in clinic application.
Journal ArticleDOI

Roles of reactive oxygen species in the fate of stem cells.

TL;DR: The various roles of ROS in adult, embryonic, and induced pluripotent stem cells are discussed andsecting the defined roles in distinct stem cell types will greatly enhance their basic and translational applications.

Endogenous Antioxidants and Radical Scavengers

TL;DR: In this chapter only endogenous antioxidant molecules will be critically discussed, such as Glutathione, Alpha-lipoic acid, Coenzyme Q, Ferritin, Uric acid, Bilirubin, Metallothioneine, L-carnitine and Melatonin.

Cysteine 111 Affects Aggregation and Cytotoxicity of Mutant Cu,Zn-superoxide Dismutase Associated with Familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

TL;DR: It is found that the removal of Cys-111 strongly reduces the ability of a range of different FALS-associated mutSOD1s to form aggregates and impair cell viability in cultured NSC-34 cells, consistent with the view that the redox environment influences the oligomerization/aggregation pathway of mutS OD1.

Induction of apoptotic program in cell-free extracts : requirement for datp and cytochrome c

TL;DR: Cells undergoing apoptosis in vivo showed increased release of cy tochrome c to their cytosol, suggesting that mitochondria may function in apoptosis by releasing cytochrome c.

The Pecking Order of Free Radicals and Antioxidants: Lipid Peroxidation, α-Tocopherol, and Ascorbate

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used one-electron reduction potentials to predict a pecking order, or hierarchy, for free radical reactions, which is in agreement with experimentally observed free radical electron (hydrogen atom) transfer reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative stress as a mediator of apoptosis

TL;DR: Thomas Buttke and Paul Sandstrom suggest that eukaryotic cells may benefit from this perilous existence by invoking oxidative stress as a common mediator of apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antioxidant and Redox Regulation of Gene Transcription

TL;DR: The efficacy of different antioxidants to favorably influence the molecular mechanisms implicated in human disease should be a critical determinant of its selection for clinical studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidized redox state of glutathione in the endoplasmic reticulum

TL;DR: Results suggest that the demonstrated preferential transport of GSSG compared to GSH into the ER lumen may contribute to this redox compartmentation.
