    Zinc causes the death of hypoxic astrocytes by inducing ROS production through mitochondria dysfunction

    Cerebral ischemia triggers a cascade of events that contribute to ischemic brain damages. Zinc release and accumulation has been shown to lead to brain cell death following cerebral ischemia. However, the mech...

    Autophagy Mediates Astrocyte Death During Zinc-Potentiated Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury

    Pathological release of excess zinc ions and the resultant increase in intracellular zinc has been implicated in ischemic brain cell death, although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Since zi...
