MITOCHONDRIA PARTICIPATE IN CANCER DEVELOPMENT

Second, oxidative stress due to reactive oxygen species (ROS) is the most important stimulus for cancer generation and progression towards malignancy [7]. ROS are mainly produced by mitochondria that release superoxide as a byproduct of oxidative respiration [8].

Mitochondria in cancer - Cell Stress

Oxidative stress is a phenomenon caused by an imbalance between production and accumulation of oxygen reactive species (ROS) in cells and tissues and the ability of a biological system to detoxify these reactive products.5 Jul 2017
