Abstract |
Neuronal viability is maintained through a complex interacting network of signaling pathways that can be perturbed in response to a multitude of cellular stresses. A shift in the balance of signaling pathways after stress or in response to pathology can have drastic consequences for the function or the fate of a neuron. There is significant evidence that acutely injured and degenerating neurons may die by an active mechanism of cell death. This process involves the activation of discrete signaling pathways that ultimately compromise mitochondrial structure, energy metabolism and nuclear integrity. In this review we examine recent evidence pertaining to the presence and activation of anti- and pro-cell death regulatory pathways in nervous system injury and degeneration. |
