Reactive Oxygen Species | Community Health

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive chemicals formed from diatomic oxygen, playing a crucial role in biological functions, aging, and genetic mutations. Researchers like [[dr-jeanne-shrimpton|Dr. Jeanne Shrimpton]] and organizations such as the [[national-institutes-of-health|National Institutes of Health]] have extensively studied ROS. The impact of ROS is also seen in the work of companies like [[gilead-sciences|Gilead Sciences]], which develops treatments for conditions related to oxidative stress.
