New Developments in Redox Biology: Fundamental Roles in Health and Disease

New Developments in Redox Biology: Fundamental Roles in Health and Disease serves as a vital resource for understanding the profound impact of the redox system on human biology. In the book, readers are introduced to the intricate balance of oxidative stress, the delicate mechanisms of antioxidant defense, and their pivotal roles in cellular function. This book meticulously unpacks the connections between redox biology and the progression of health, aging, and disease, offering researchers and enthusiasts alike a window into these complex physiological processes.

Aside from illuminating oxidative dynamics, this book delves into emerging trends, therapeutic potential, and the integration of redox principles in developing medical interventions, highlighting its relevance in advancing human health.

• Explores the fundamental role of redox biology in developmental processes and cellular homeostasis
• Investigates the impact of oxidative stress on non-communicable diseases, including cancer, metabolic, and autoimmune disorders
• Examines redox regulation in infectious diseases and host-pathogen interactions
• Provides detailed insights into redox-related biomarkers and their diagnostic and therapeutic potential
• Equips readers with cutting-edge knowledge on redox biology through multi-omics approaches

Dr. Asim K. Duttaroy is a professor at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway. His research programs focus on the roles of food components on growth and development, as well as in the prevention of diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. He is also investigating the roles of the antiplatelet and antihypertensive properties of fruits and vegetables. His discoveries of antithrombotic factors in tomatoes and kiwifruits are patented internationally, and three companies (Provexis Limited in the United Kingdom, IDIA AS in Norway, and Genimen Pharmacon in India) are working to commercialize these discoveries. He has published over 265 original contributions and reviews, 6 books, and several book chapters and editorials, and he is the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Food & Nutrition Research, as well as a guest editor of several journals such as Nutrients and Frontiers in Physiology.

Dr. Atala Bihari Jena has a PhD in Biotechnology and over 7 years of experience in redox biology. He is an MK-Bhan Fellow at the National Center for Cell Science, Savitribai Phule Pune University, India and his main research expertise centres on oxidative stress, antioxidant enzymes, antioxidants, and the cellular redox system in health and disease.
