Cells emerged at the very beginning of life on Earth and, in fact, are coterminous with life. They enclosed within an excitable plasma membrane, which defines outside and inside domains via their specific biophysical properties. Unicellular organisms, such as diverse protists algae, still live a cellular However, fungi, plants, animals evolved multicellular existence. Recently, we have developed basis consciousness (CBC) model, proposes that all biological awareness, sentience grounded general cell biology. Here discuss biomolecular structures processes allow for maintain this from evolutionary perspective.

The reactive oxygen species (ROS)-producing enzyme NADPH oxidase (NOX) was first identified in the membrane of phagocytic cells. For many years, its only known role immune defense, where ROS production leads to destruction pathogens by NOX from phagocytes catalyzes, via one-electron trans-membrane transfer molecular oxygen, superoxide anion. Over six human homologs catalytic subunit phagocyte were found: NOX1, NOX3, NOX4, NOX5, DUOX1, and DUOX2.

Oxidative stress is defined as “an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in favor of the oxidants, leading to a disruption redox signaling control and/or molecular damage”. This Commentary presents basic features this global concept which has attracted interest biology medicine. The term “antioxidants” cellular defense against predominantly includes antioxidant enzymes with their substrates coenzymes. Exogenous low-molecular-mass compounds also have role, but more limited. Multiple biomarkers damage due oxidative been identified for different classes (protein, lipid, carbohydrate, DNA), current state practical aspects health disease delineated.

In the open metabolic system, redox-related signaling requires continuous monitoring and fine-tuning of steady-state redox set point. The ongoing oxidative metabolism is a persistent challenge, denoted as eustress, which operates within physiological range that has been called 'Homeodynamic Space', 'Goldilocks Zone' or 'Golden Mean'. Spatiotemporal control achieved by compartmentalized generation removal oxidants. cellular landscape H2O2, major molecule, characterized orders-of-magnitude concentration differences between organelles.

Quantitatively imaging the spatiotemporal distribution of biological events in living organisms is essential to understand fundamental processes. Self-calibrating ratiometric fluorescent probes enable accurate and reliable sensing, but conventional using wavelength 400-900 nm suffer from extremely low resolution for vivo application due disastrous photon scattering tissue autofluorescence background. Here, we develop a NIR-IIb (1500-1700 nm) emissive nanoprobe high-resolution fluorescence vivo.
