New Insights into Oxidative Medicine: Unraveling the Complexity of Oxidative Stress in Health and Disease

Oxidative stress, stemming from an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and antioxidant defense mechanisms, is a significant contributor to various diseases, including cardiovascular disorders, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic disorders. Recent advancements in oxidative medicine have shed light on the intricate interplay between oxidative stress and human health, revealing a nuanced role in both health and disease.

This research topic aims to explore novel mechanisms underlying ROS generation and antioxidant defense pathways, elucidate the role of oxidative stress in disease pathogenesis, investigate therapeutic strategies targeting oxidative stress, and identify biomarkers for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. By unraveling the complexities of oxidative medicine, this research has the potential to drive advancements in preventive and therapeutic interventions, ultimately improving diagnostics, prognostics, and treatments for a wide range of oxidative stress-related conditions, thereby enhancing human health and well-being.
