Oxygen-derived free radicals and related oxidants are ubiquitous and short-lived
intermediates formed in aerobic organisms throughout life. These reactive species …

Cancer is characterized by increased oxidative stress, an imbalance between reactive
oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants. Enhanced ROS accumulation, as a result of …

Constructing nanomaterials mimicking the coordination environments of natural enzymes
may achieve biomimetic catalysis. Here we construct a two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic …

Abstract The European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) provides an ideal
framework to establish multi-disciplinary research networks. COST Action BM1203 (EU …

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a widespread mycotoxin commonly found as a corn contaminant. It
has been shown to be nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic, teratogenic and immunotoxic to several …

Ergothioneine is a thiol/thione molecule synthesised only by some fungi and bacteria.
Nonetheless, it is avidly taken up from the diet by humans and other animals through a …

One of the hallmark advances in our understanding of metalloprotein function is showcased
in our ability to design new, non-native, catalytically active protein scaffolds. This review …

The first life forms evolved in a highly reducing environment. This reduced state is still
carried by cells today, which makes the concept of “reductive stress” somewhat redundant …

The free radical nitric oxide (· NO) is a key mediator in different physiological processes such
as vasodilation, neurotransmission, inflammation, and cellular immune responses, and thus …

Platinum-containing drugs (eg, cisplatin) are among the most frequently used
chemotherapeutic agents. Their tremendous success has spurred research and …
