Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last two decades, our view of the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in inflammatory processes has changed dramatically. ROS that are constantly produced at lower levels by living cells metabolizing oxygen contribute to normal cellular function and tissue homeostasis. ROS are produced at higher levels in inflammation and regulate the inflammatory response in specific ways. The role of ROS in inflammation is complex and primarily determined by their relative amount, chemical properties, reactivity, subcellular localization and molecular environment, specificity for their biological targets, and availability and mechanisms of antioxidant defense systems. This eBook comprises twelve reviews and original articles that provide new findings on the role of ROS in the regulation of inflammatory processes, highlight emerging topics in redox signaling, describe new ROS detection techniques and discuss alternative therapeutic strategies to treat inflammatory disorders. The editorial that precedes the published articles briefly summarizes the main findings of each research paper. We hope that this collection of research articles contribute to a better understanding of ROS in inflammation.
