Free radicals have a terrible reputation. These reactive and unstable molecules have been associated with cancer, aging, and degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Yet the body constantly produces ...
Free radicals are highly unstable and reactive molecules that are literally stealing electrons from your healthy cells at this very moment, causing damage that accumulates over time and contributes to ...
One of the central challenges for synthetic chemists is to impose control over free radicals. Highly reactive molecules with an unpaired electron, free radicals may be familiar to you; these are the ...
You may have heard about oxidative stress on social media. A TikTok search offers dozens of videos that claim to break down the complex chemical process and, in some instances, offer up “treatments” ...
Our mitochondria are the main locus of free radical production and are therefore the primary sites of oxidative damage. As mitochondria become more damaged, they produce less energy and generate more ...
The free radical theory of aging is back in play after falling out of favor decades ago. (Remember when people were taking massive doses of various vitamins and minerals? Mopping up free radicals with ...
