Reactive Nitrogen Species

Reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are a group of chemically reactive molecules that incorporate nitrogen and oxygen atoms. These species have an important role in a range of biological processes, such as cell signaling and immune responses. They can also contribute to oxidative stress, cellular damage, and inflammation, leading to various diseases. Due to their biological properties, RNS has become a target of current research, seeking potential applications in the field of medicine, such as the development of novel drugs and treatments for various diseases.
