Abstract
Free radicals are important mediators for cell toxicity and pathogenesis of diseases. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been generated broadly in inflammatory diseases including autoimmune diseases. ROS have been not only associated with the initiation and progression of the autoimmune response but also in amplification and exploring to novel epitopes, through the unveiling of antigenic determinants. This review explores the involvement of ROS in the pathophysiology of non-organ specific autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The modification of human serum albumin through hydroxyl radical is thought to be responsible for the induction of autoantibodies against modified human serum albumin. In the light of overwhelming evidence suggesting the association with oxidative damage in autoimmunity, the administration of antioxidants could be a viable alternative for the neutralization of free radicals that are involved in eliciting autoimmune disease. In this review, we have discussed their pro-oxidant as well anti-oxidant properties which are capable of differentially modulating the autoimmune response.
Keywords: Human serum albumin, ROS, SLE, hydroxy radicals (●OH), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
