  • An ATM that dispenses antioxidants
    An ATM that dispenses antioxidants

    Salk-led study clarifies dual role of protein that watches for cellular threats and repairs damage

    Salk Insitute for Biological Studies
    July 10, 2018

    One reason we’re supposed to eat a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables is because they contain nutritious compounds called antioxidants. These molecules counteract the damage to our bodies from harmful products of normal cells called reactive oxygen species (ROS). Now, research led by a Salk Institute professor along with collaborators from Yale, Appalachian State University and other institutions found that a protein called ATM (short for ataxia-telangiectasia mutated) can sense the presence of ROS and responds by sounding the alarm to trigger the production of antioxidants.
