Mitochondrial control of cell death

Kroemer, Guido, Reed, John C.·2000·Nature Medicine

Abstract

In many instances, permeabilization of mitochondrial membranes is a rate-limiting step of apoptotic or necrotic cell demise. This has important consequences for the pathophysiology of cell death, as well as for its pharmacological control.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The human brain is characterized by elevated oxidative metabolism and low antioxidant enzymes, which increases its vulnerability to oxidative stress.

    “The human brain is characterized by an elevated oxidative metabolism and low antioxidants enzymes, which increases the brain’s vulnerability to oxidative stress [125].”
  • Metformin can interrupt the apoptotic cascade in a model of etoposide-induced cell death by inhibiting permeability transition pore opening and blocking cytochrome-c release.

    “Metformin could interrupt the apoptotic cascade in a model of ectoposide-induced cell death by inhibiting PTP opening and blocking the release of cytochrome-c.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
