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 ...

Free radical chemistry centres on the study of species that possess one or more unpaired electrons – a feature that confers unique reactivity and diverse roles across chemical and biological systems.

Dr. Gino DiLabio and doctoral student Hossein Khalilian discuss their research paper about how quantum Coulombic interactions can manage and prevent unwanted cell damage from free radicals. The image ...

Free radicals generated at a specific site in non-neuronal brain cells called astrocytes may promote dementia, according to a Weill Cornell Medicine study. These findings, published in Nature ...

Researchers have discovered that free radicals generated at a specific site in non-neuronal brain cells called astrocytes, may promote dementia, according to a Weill Cornell Medicine study. Their ...

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 ...

A new study, published by a team of UBC Okanagan chemistry researchers, is creating a major rethink of how enzymes work. And how a quantum phenomenon helps an important enzyme control essential yet ...
