Abstract

On page 5553, C. Tapeinos and A. Pandit review the properties of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-sensitive moieties which can respond to oxidative conditions inside cells. ROS-sensitive chemical structures, shown in the background of the image, are currently used in the biomedical field as drug-delivery systems, imaging probes, prochelators, and prodrugs for imaging and treatment of various diseases.
