Oxidative stress inhibits axonal transport: implications for neurodegenerative diseases

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Reactive oxygen species (ROS) released by microglia and other inflammatory cells can cause axonal degeneration. A reduction in axonal transport has also been implicated as a cause of axonal dystrophies and neurodegeneration, but ther...
