There are many different types of phytonutrients but many have lots of antioxidant ability, meaning they fight inflammation and free - radical damage
from normal cellular processes, as well as a modern lifestyle that's often less than ideal.
Through normal cellular processes, free radical - generating substances like peroxides are formed, but antioxidants in the cell work to neutralize them and prevent oxidation.
Inflammation may be a valuable short - term weapon against infection, but prolonged inflammation can cause extensive damage to affected tissues by interfering
with normal cellular processes, altering blood flow through the area, and triggering the death of affected cells.
This DNA becomes damaged in the course
of normal cellular processes, and certain forms of mitochondrial DNA damage - to the thirteen genes needed for oxidative phosphorylation - produce malfunctioning mitochondria that can overtake their cells, either by replicating more readily or being more resistant to quality control mechanisms.
We have several ongoing projects designed to uncover the molecular mechanisms that regulate endocytosis, and to determine its involvement
in normal cellular processes and cancer.
These substances actually «intrude» and interrupt
normal cellular processes by binding with protein sites and replacing the metals that naturally occur in the cell.
Inhibiting TGF - β is not ideal because it is critical to
normal cellular processes.
Through studies in yeast, Dr. Gladfelter and her team found that this repetitive stretch of glutamine is also used to cluster proteins for
a normal cellular process, namely the regulation of a cell's division cycle.
