The findings, which appear in the September issue of Molecular Cell , not only advance knowledge of how cells sense the presence of singlet oxygen, but also how they turn on critical genes to defend themselves from its effects.

• 该发现刊登在分子细胞杂志的9月刊号上，它不仅增进了我们对细胞如何感受单态氧这种机制的了解，而且还揭示了细胞如何开启关键基因的表达来防御单态氧带来的损伤。
