International Journal of Molecular Sciences Webinar | The Impact of Oxidative Stress on Male and Female Germ Cells: From Redox Biology to Photon Emission, 11 March 2026
Message from the Chair:
I am very pleased to welcome you to this webinar. This event concerns a scientific area that has become one of the most exciting and dynamically developing directions of biological research in recent years—the relationship between oxidative stress and reproductive cells. Oxidative stress, the delicate balance of redox homeostasis, and the cellular processes arising from them are crucial not only for basic research but also for clinical applications. The goal of today’s webinar is to facilitate a deeper understanding of these processes—with a special focus on how they affect the function, viability, and communication of male and female germ cells. We are particularly pleased that internationally recognized researchers in this field will share their latest findings and experiences with us. I believe that the lectures and discussions held here will not only provide new scientific inspiration but also contribute to the birth of new collaborations. I would like to thank all speakers, organizers, and participants for contributing to this special event. I trust that we will not only gain new knowledge but also new ideas and motivation. I wish everyone a meaningful and inspiring day!
Thank you for your attention!
