内容説明

This book gives a comprehensive account of the input of biologists and medical scientists towards the understanding of the role of oxidative stress and DNA damage in human diseases. Written by renowned experts in the field, the book emphasizes the role played by free radicals, promotes understanding of the fundamental mechanisms underlying the pathology of human diseases, shows how DNA is an important target in cellular damage, and outlines the pioneering studies relating to the chemistry of DNA damage.
