Article Synopsis
- * Recent findings indicate that reactive oxygen species (ROS), typically seen as harmful, can actually promote cell survival, leading to the hypothesis that bFGF might stimulate ROS production, activating the Akt survival pathway.
- * Experiments demonstrated that adding bFGF increased ROS levels in photoreceptor cells for 24 hours, and when ROS production was inhibited, the activation of the Akt pathway was blocked, suggesting that COX enzymes are key in this process.
