Periodontal disease etiology and role of oxidative stress

open access: yesMagazin of Al-Kufa University for Biology, 2023
The term "periodontal disease" is used to describe an array of inflammatory conditions that can affect the periodontium. In response to the challenge given by the bacteria, the gingival and periodontal tissues undergo a complicated chain of events ...

Interaction of bilirubin and biliverdin with reactive nitrogen species [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2003
Bilirubin (BR) and biliverdin (BV), two metabolites produced during haem degradation by haem oxygenase, possess strong antioxidant activities toward peroxyl radical, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide. Considering the importance attributed to nitric oxide (NO) and its congeners in the control of physiological and pathophysiological processes, we ...

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Reactive nitrogen in the Spanish agri-food sector: environmental impact on atmosphere, soils, water and resources. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The presence of reactive species of nitrogen (N) in the biosphere might cause environmental impacts at local, regional and global scales. Nowadays the N flows generated by human activities greatly exceed natural processes, thus a necessity exists of ...

An improved retrieval of tropospheric nitrogen dioxide from GOME [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We present a retrieval of tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) columns from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) satellite instrument that improves in several ways over previous retrievals, especially in the accounting of Rayleigh and cloud ...

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Signalling pathways involved in TNFα-induced cytoprotection : role of reactive oxygen species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 73-89).Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) is a pleiotropic cytokine which has both beneficial and deleterious effects.

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Reactive Nitrogen Species (RNS) in plants– maintenance of structural individuality and functional blend

open access: yesAdvances in Redox Research, 2022
The free radicals along with several reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are known to play a dual role in the biological living system which carries a substantial importance in terms of signal networking in plants.

Sudden anaerobization in Amphibacillus xylanus increases intracellular labile ferrous iron and inhibits cell growth

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Abruptly changing from aerobic to anaerobic conditions (sudden anaerobization) induced growth inhibition and a significant increase in intracellular labile ferrous iron in the aerotolerant anaerobe Amphibacillus xylanus. We found that free flavins mediate efficient electron transfer from NADH to ferric iron under anaerobic conditions, suggesting that ...

Silver nanoparticles can attenuate nitrative stress

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2017
We have reported previously that glucose availability can modify toxicity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) via elevation of antioxidant defence triggered by increased mitochondrial generation of reactive oxygen species.
