Glutathione: new roles in redox signaling for an old antioxidant

TL;DR: This review will be focused on the role of GSH in cell signaling by analysing the more recent advancements about its capability to modulate nitroxidative stress, autophagy, and viral infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of ionizing radiation on biological molecules--mechanisms of damage and emerging methods of detection.

TL;DR: Chemical mechanisms for IR-induced modifications of biomolecules along with methods for their detection are described and the synergy of combined "omics" technologies such as genomics and epigenomics, proteomics, and metabolomics is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of ferroptosis in ionizing radiation-induced cell death and tumor suppression.

TL;DR: This study reveals a previously unrecognized link between IR and ferroptosis and indicates that further exploration of the combination of radiotherapy and FINs in cancer treatment is warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of ionizing radiation on mitochondria

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss experimental observations of the effects of ionizing radiation on the mitochondria at (1) the DNA and (2) functional levels, and discuss the roles of mitochondria in (3) oxidative stress and (4) late radiation effects.

Superoxide Dismutase AN ENZYMIC FUNCTION FOR ERYTHROCUPREIN (HEMOCUPREIN)

TL;DR: The demonstration that O2·- can reduce ferricytochrome c and tetranitromethane, and that superoxide dismutase, by competing for the superoxide radicals, can markedly inhibit these reactions, is demonstrated.

Oxidants, oxidative stress and the biology of ageing.

TL;DR: Evidence that the appropriate and inappropriate production of oxidants, together with the ability of organisms to respond to oxidative stress, is intricately connected to ageing and life span is reviewed.

Alternative activation of macrophages

TL;DR: The evidence in favour of alternative macrophage activation by the TH2-type cytokines interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-13 is assessed, and its limits and relevance to a range of immune and inflammatory conditions are defined.
