Oxidative stress is a complex biological process characterized by the excessive production
of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that act as destroyers of the REDOX balance in the body …

As the first discovered gaseous signaling molecule, nitric oxide (NO) affects a number of
cellular processes, including those involving vascular cells. This brief review summarizes …

Closed circulatory systems underlie the function of vertebrate organs, but in long bones their
structure is unclear although they constitute the exit route for bone marrow (BM) leukocytes …

Endothelial cells control vascular tone by releasing nitric oxide (NO) produced by
endothelial NO synthase. The activity of endothelial NO synthase is modulated by the …

The maintenance of skin integrity is crucial to ensure the physiological barrier against
exogenous compounds, microorganisms and dehydration but also to fulfill social and …

With the increased distribution of microplastics in the environment, the potential for harmful
effects on human health and ecosystems have become a global concern. Considering that …

The state of wound oxygenation is a key determinant of healing outcomes. From a
diagnostic standpoint, measurements of wound oxygenation are commonly used to guide …

Peroxynitrite is formed by the very fast reaction of nitric oxide and superoxide radicals, a
reaction that kinetically competes with other routes that chemically consume or physically …

Both lack and excess of NO production in diseases can have various important implications
in which dietary factors can play a modulating role. Future research is needed to expand our …
