For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals – small oxygen molecules that are sometimes needed, but that can also damage our cells. The study is published in Nature Communications and was led from Lund University. For our cells to function, they need to maintain a careful balance between beneficial and harmful oxygen molecules known as free ra
