COMPOUNDS AND METHODS FOR INHIBITING NEURONAL CELL DEATH

摘要

The invention provides compounds and methods that are useful for the treatment and prevention of a variety of diseases associated with oxidative-stress, DNA damage, or growth factor deprivation. The invention also features methods for detecting the presence of oxidative-stress, DNA damage, or growth factor deprivation in a cell. Additionally, methods are provided for identifying compounds that increase or decrease oxidative-stress, DNA damage, growth factor deprivation, or cell death.
