Bacteria have to cope with oxidative stress caused by distinct Reactive Oxygen Species
(ROS), derived not only from normal aerobic metabolism but also from oxidants present in …

Lipid peroxidation can be described generally as a process under which oxidants such as
free radicals attack lipids containing carbon‐carbon double bond (s), especially …

Physical plasmas generate unique mixes of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS or
ROS). Only a bit more than a decade ago, these plasmas, operating at body temperature …

The routine and often unavoidable exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation makes it one
of the most significant environmental DNA-damaging agents to which humans are exposed …

Oxidative damage to DNA has important implications for human health and has been
identified as a key factor in the onset and development of numerous diseases. Thus, it is …

Abstract Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation has, for many decades now, been widely studied with
respect to its consequences on plant and animal health. Though according to NASA, the …

Nonenzymatic lipid oxidation is usually viewed as deleterious. But if this is the case, then
why does it occur so frequently in cells? Here we review the mechanisms of membrane …

In this review article, emphasis is placed on the critical survey of available data concerning
modified nucleobase and 2-deoxyribose products that have been identified in cellular DNA …

DNA molecules in mitochondria, just like those in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, are
constantly damaged by noxious agents. Eukaryotic cells have developed efficient …

This review article focuses on a critical survey of the main available information on the UVB
and UVA oxidative reactions to cellular DNA as the result of direct interactions of UV …
