Reactive oxygen species react with and damage molecular machinery throughout the cell, damage that needs to be repaired. Here, researchers investigate one portion of how this response is regulated, looking at the metabolism of nematode worms.

Reactive oxygen species react with and damage molecular machinery throughout the cell, damage that needs to be repaired. Here, researchers investigate one portion of how this response is regulated, looking at the metabolism of nematode worms. The reactive oxygen species superoxide is generated by mitochondria during the process of producing energy.
Many approaches to modestly slow aging in short-lived species involve a mild mitochondrial dysfunction that that somewhat increases the level of reactive oxygen species generated in the course of producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to power the cell. While superoxide can cause oxidative damage to the cell, we and […]
