Antioxidants & Redox Signaling is the leading journal dedicated to the understanding of reactive species as messenger molecules regulating signal transduction and gene expression. New research reveals that radicals, which have been known as damaging agents, can have the potential to be used for therapeutic purposes. This journal uncovers the expanding world of redox-based therapeutics—genetic, pharmacological, and nutritional.

This journal is devoted to publishing the highest quality innovative papers in the fields of biochemistry and biotechnology. The typical focus of the journal is to report applications of novel scientific and technological breakthroughs, as well as technological subjects that are still in the proof-of-concept stage. Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology provides a forum for case studies and practical concepts of biotechnology, utilization, including controls, statistical data analysis, problem descriptions unique to a particular application, and bioprocess economic analyses. The journal publishes reviews deemed of interest to readers, as well as book reviews, meeting and symposia notices, and news items relating to biotechnology in both the industrial and academic communities. In addition, Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology often publishes lists of patents and publications of special interest to readers.
