Med. Free Radical Biology and Medicine is a peer-reviewed scientific journal and official journal of the Society for Redox Biology and Medicine. The journal covers research on redox biology, signaling, biological chemistry and medical implications of free radicals, reactive species, oxidants and antioxidants.
Redox Biology is an open-access peer-reviewed scientific journal and an official journal of the Society for Redox Biology and Medicine and the Society for Free Radical Research-Europe. [1][2] The journal covers research on redox biology, aging, signaling, biological chemistry and medical implications of free radicals for health and disease.
The free radical theory of aging states that organisms age because cells accumulate free radical damage over time. [ 1 ] A free radical is any atom or molecule that has a single unpaired electron in an outer shell. [ 2 ] While a few free radicals such as melanin are not chemically reactive, most biologically relevant free radicals are highly ...
Oxidative stress mechanisms in tissue injury. Free radical toxicity induced by xenobiotics and the subsequent detoxification by cellular enzymes (termination).. Oxidative stress reflects an imbalance between the systemic manifestation of reactive oxygen species and a biological system's ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or to repair the resulting damage.

Victor Darley-Usmar (born in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England in 1956) is a free-radical biologist and biochemist, the UAB Endowed Professor in Mitochondrial Medicine and Pathology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. [1] Darley-Usmar also contributed to a book titled Microbes, Bugs & Wonder Drugs (by Fran Balkwill and Mic Rolph, with ...
Rebeca Gerschman (June 19, 1903 – April 4, 1986) was an Argentinian biologist and physiologist who received a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Pharmacy from the University of Buenos Aires. Known for her advances in the field of biochemistry, she was the first scientist to propose—in 1954—that free radicals contributed to oxygen toxicity and cell ...
Henry Jay Forman is both Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry at the University of California, Merced. [1] and Research Professor Emeritus of Gerontology at the University of Southern California (USC) Leonard Davis School of Gerontology. [2] He is a specialist in free radical biology and chemistry, antioxidant defense, and pioneered ...
Initiated free radical research during post doctoral studies and has continued research interest in the areas of free radicals and oxidative stress in biology and medicine. His lab is active in studying the health effects associated with free radicals of oxygen, oxidative stress and role of antioxidants in patho-physiological processes.
