Fresh data on dna research are presented in the report 'The chemical toxicology of 2-deoxyribose oxidation in DNA.' According to recent research from the United States, "Damage to DNA and RNA caused by oxidative mechanisms has been well-studied for its potential role in the development of human disease."

"Only recently, though, have we begun to appreciate that oxidation of the 2-deoxyribose moiety in DNA is also a determinant of the genetic toxicology of oxidative stress and inflammation, with involvement in more than just 'strand breaks', such as complex DNA lesions, protein-DNA cross-links, and protein and DNA adducts. As an update to a 1992 review of 2'-deoxyribose...
