The mechanics of the onset of cancer or neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease or ALS remain a mystery.

Yifan Dai and his collaborators address how biomolecular condensates create oxygen-based radicals without the presence of ...

A free radical is a molecule that has lost an electron from one or more of its atoms. Electrons are much more stable in pairs, so an oxygen atom with only one electron (a free radical) will ...

Two oxygen atoms were walking along the street when one stops and says, “Oh my goodness, I feel more radical. I think I've lost an electron!” “Are you sure?” asks his companion. "Yes," replies the ...

The flavoprotein succinate dehydrogenase (succinate:quinone reductase — SQR) plays a crucial role both in the Krebs cycle and, as the main component of complex II, in mitochondrial and bacterial ...

How do radicals form in aqueous solutions when exposed to UV light? This question is important for health research and ...
