Polyamine Metabolism and Functions: Key Roles in Cellular Health and Disease

The polyamines putrescine, spermidine, and spermine are polycations ubiquitously present in cells, where they exert pleiotropic functions in cellular mechanisms like proliferation, protein synthesis (through the hypusination of the transcription factor EIF5a), redox balance, autophagy, and different...
