Methods for electrogeneration of reactive oxygen species without external oxygen supply
Background Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are defined as a group of reactive molecules and free radicals derive from molecular oxygen, such as superoxide hydroxyl, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and ozone. They are widely used in industry and environmental protection, because of their strong oxidizing ability. Especially H2O2 can exist stable in the environment,...

Hydrogen Sulfide Releasing Agents
Abstract Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has demonstrated several essential critical care benefits when delivered properly in low doses. The current state-of-the-art delivery systems rely on gaseous delivery of H2S to patients. WSU researchers have developed chemical agents that controllably decompose to release H2S and demonstrated their efficacy in biological...
