Redox Signaling in Wound Healing in Elderly Populations: Clinical Approach, Part Two, Volume Three covers wounds in different types and locations (diabetic, ischemic, post-operational) in subcellular and macro dimensions, examining their relationship with aging with an aim to target deteriorating redox signaling cascades and highlight promising therapeutic approaches. Understanding the indication for the use of new therapeutics targeting the illuminated pathways in wound healing helps adjust treatment regimens befitting modern medicine. Ineffective redox adaptation and disseminated oxidative injury are the hallmarks of continuing oxidative stress.

However, oxidative stress cannot be simply described as the imbalance between ROS formation and antioxidant defense capacity. This also covers impairment in redox sensing and signaling pathways. The term oxidative stress is an expression that is losing its use in modern redox biology. It is now an accepted fact that ROS cannot be described as an apparent enemy or friend. Its optimum level modulates signal transduction and stress responses by acting as a second messenger for redox-sensitive cascades.

Ufuk Çakatay (May 09, 1965 –) is a Turkish biochemist and biogerontologist. He is a full professor of medical biochemistry at Istanbul-University Cerrahpaşa in Istanbul, Turkey. He has a long-standing interest in oxidative protein damage, redox signaling, and biomarkers of proteostasis. Much less is known about the relationship between redox signaling events and senescent cells. However, it has been shown that the number of senescent cells in many tissues increases with age and that senescent cells are found in various age-related diseases. The development of experimental animal models for age-related disorders and the optimization of various bioanalytical techniques for the assessment of redox status in aging tissue are among his major research interests. Professor Çakatay has authored more than 100 publications in several leading journals, including research papers, book chapters, editorials, and invited reviews on free radical biology, aging, diabetes, redox signaling, and senotherapeutics. He has been a guest editor, reviewer, and editorial board member for more than 50 journals. In addition, Professor Çakatay has a keen interest in mentoring medical students and promoting their research careers. He has received several prestigious awards, including the Top Reviewer Award from Elsevier Science Publishing, and was a former member of the Animal Research and Ethics Committee of Istanbul University. Dr. Atayik is currently working in the Department of General Surgery at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine. He has been working as a scientist and researcher with Prof. Ufuk Çakatay since 2017. His research interests are in the fields of aging, age-related disorders, redox biology, oncogenetics, melatonin, mitochondria, surgical advances, and developing novel techniques for modern surgery. Dr. Atayik has conducted clinical research and experimental studies. He has published many scientific papers, such as research papers, narrative reviews, and book chapters, and has worked as an author, referee, editorial assistant, and guest editor, and editor in many prominent publishing houses. He was awarded the Young Investigator Presentation Prize at the VIII. International Congress of Molecular Medicine, which was held in Istanbul, Turkey, in November 2021.
