Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage DNA, leading to diseases like cancer. Antioxidants from foods can neutralize free radicals and reduce their harmful effects. Oxidative stress ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals – small oxygen molecules that are sometimes needed, but that can also damage our cells. The study is ...

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 ...
