Special Issue Information
Free radicals play an important role in a variety of biological and biochemical processes and have been implicated in the pathogenesis in a number of major diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. Owing to the presence of an unpaired electron, free radicals are generally highly reactive and thus difficult to detect directly. Over a number of decades, a significant amount of research effort has been dedicated to developing methods to detect free radicals and apply such methods to various biological questions to elucidate the roles and mechanisms of free radical processes.
The purpose of this Special Issue of Antioxidants is to highlight some current free radical detection and identification methods and the applications of methods to address issues in various biological contexts. This will be achieved through contributions of experts in the field of free radical detection, measurement and application. Therefore, you are invited to submit original research papers, or exceptionally, a review article that focuses upon methods and applications of free radical measurement and detection to this issue.
