Redox-Enabled Bio-Electronics for Information Acquisition and Transmission

TL;DR: A review of recent efforts to develop redox-based bioelectronics for the acquisition of information and actuation of responses can be found in this article , where electrodes enable comparatively simple modulation/demodulation because electrodes readily transduce electrical inputs into redox signals.

Peroxynitrite oxidation of sulfhydryls. The cytotoxic potential of superoxide and nitric oxide.

TL;DR: Peroxynitrite anion was a less effective thiol-oxidizing agent than its anion, with oxidation presumably mediated by the decomposition products, hydroxyl radical and nitrogen dioxide.

Homocysteine and Cardiovascular Disease

TL;DR: In this article, an elevated level of total homocysteine (tHcy) in blood, denoted hyperhomocysteinemia, is emerging as a prevalent and strong risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular disease in the coronary, cerebral, and peripheral vessels, and for arterial and venous thromboembolism.
