The mitochondrial permeability transition is a key event in cell death. Intense research efforts
have been focused on elucidating the molecular components of the mitochondrial …

Mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) is the sudden loss in the permeability of the
inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) to low-molecular-weight solutes. Due to osmotic …

The 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO), previously known as the peripheral
benzodiazepine receptor, is expressed in the injured brain. It has become known as an …

Since its discovery in the 1970s, the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) has been
proposed to be a strategic regulator of cell death. Intense research efforts have focused on …

Due to its channel-like properties, the peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) has
been renamed the translocator protein (TSPO). In eukaryotes, the TSPO is primarily located …

Apoptosis, the major form of cellular suicide, is central to various physiological processes
and the maintenance of homeostasis in multicellular organisms. Presumably, even more …
