Effect of hypoxia factors gene silencing on ROS production and metabolic status of A375 malignant melanoma cells

Abstract The innate response of melanocytes to exogenous or endogenous stress stimuli like extreme pH and temperature, metabolite and oxygen deficiency or a high UV dose initiates a cellular stress response. This process activates adaptive processes to minimize the negative impact of the stressor on...
