Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The interplay between blood cells and redox homeostasis is crucial in maintaining cellular health and preventing disease. Redox balance, which involves the regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant defenses, is essential to proper blood cell function and overall physiological stability. Disruptions to this balance can lead to a variety of health issues, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders.
This Special Issue, "Blood Cells and Redox Homeostasis in Health and Disease, 2nd Edition", builds on the insights provided by its predecessor, the 1st Edition, which set a strong foundation by addressing key aspects of how blood cells contribute to redox regulation and the consequences of dysregulation.
This second edition will continue this exploration with updated research and new perspectives. It will delve into the latest advancements in understanding the mechanisms by which blood cells manage oxidative stress and the resulting implications for various diseases. By expanding on the groundwork laid by the first edition, this Special Issue will enhance our comprehension of blood cells' roles in redox homeostasis and will advance diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
