Fundamentals of Redox Biology
Academic Press Inc (Verlag)
9780443223358 (ISBN)
In addition to providing a historical perspective on redox biology, the book examines how ROS influence epigenetic regulation and mitochondrial function, particularly in immune responses to infections. It also integrates discussions on the role of redox systems across multiple disciplines, making it relevant to cell biology, molecular biology, immunology, and beyond. With its detailed exploration of both theoretical and applied aspects, the book positions itself as a pivotal resource for understanding the mechanisms underlying redox balance and its broad applications in life sciences.
Shyamal Goswami has a research career spanning 35 years. He has experience teaching in biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology and redox biology at the postgraduate level. He served as Associate Professor and Professor in the School of Life Sciences at Jawaharlal Nehru University, India, from 1998 to 2020. Prior to this he was a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at the State University of New York-Health Science Centre at Brooklyn, New York, USA. Dr. Goswami has contributed numerous publications across his field. He also co-authored Protocols in Biochemistry and Clinical Biochemistry and co-edited Post-transcriptional Gene Regulation in Human Disease, both published by Academic Press/Elsevier. His main areas of research are cell signaling and gene expression in the cardiovascular system; redox biology of degenerative diseases; and signal scaffolds and cell functions.
