The future of Forkhead box O transcription factors. [PDF]
The Forkhead box O (FOXO) class of transcription factors is evolutionary conserved both structurally and at least in part also functionally. FOXO activation results in transcriptional programs that provide cellular resilience toward exogenous and endogenous challenges, especially challenges that provoke cellular oxidative stress.

FOXO4 as a Redox-Sensitive Regulator of Antioxidant Defense and Cellular Senescence: Cysteine-Based Signaling, p53 Interaction, and Therapeutic Targeting [PDF]
(1) Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as physiological signaling mediators but contribute to oxidative damage, cellular dysfunction, and age-related disease when redox homeostasis fails.

Role of forkhead transcription factors in diabetes-induced oxidative stress. [PDF]
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder, characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from insulin deficiency and/or insulin resistance. Recent evidence suggests that high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequent oxidative stress are key ...

Unveiling Forkhead-mediated regulation of yeast cell cycle and metabolic networks
Transcription factors are regulators of the cell’s genomic landscape. By switching single genes or entire molecular pathways on or off, transcription factors modulate the precise timing of their activation.

Forkhead transcription factors and ageing [PDF]
Mutations in single genes and environmental interventions can extend healthy lifespan in laboratory model organisms. Some of the mechanisms involved show evolutionary conservation, opening the way to using simpler invertebrates to understand human ageing.

The foxa2 gene controls the birth and spontaneous degeneration of dopamine neurons in old age. [PDF]
Parkinson disease affects more than 1% of the population over 60 y old. The dominant models for Parkinson disease are based on the use of chemical toxins to kill dopamine neurons, but do not address the risk factors that normally increase with age ...

Networks of interacting molecules organize topology, amount, and timing of biological functions. Systems biology concepts required to pin down ‘network motifs’ or ‘design principles’ for time-dependent processes have been developed for the cell division ...

FoxP4, a novel forkhead transcription factor [PDF]
Forkhead proteins have been demonstrated to play key roles in embryonic development, cell cycle regulation, and oncogenesis. We report the characterization of a new forkhead transcription factor, which is a member of the FoxP subfamily. In adult tissues FoxP4 is expressed in heart, brain, lung, liver, kidney, and testis. By Northern hybridization, very
