The Role of Redox Biology in Cellular Homeostasis and Disease Pathogenesis

Abstract

Author(s):

Redox biology, the study of reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions within biological systems, is crucial for understanding cellular homeostasis and the pathogenesis of various diseases. This article explores the fundamental mechanisms of redox biology, its impact on cellular functions, and its implications in diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. By elucidating the role of redox reactions, we aim to highlight potential therapeutic targets and strategies for managing redox-related diseases.
