  Abstract: For a long time, oxidative stress was cast as a plain villain, something to be pushed down with antioxidants wherever it appeared. That view has changed.

As stress increases, cells activate protective mechanisms to keep themselves safe. However, if the stress becomes too strong or lasts too long, these …
