Their substantial role in biological systems was recognized a long time ago. They are essential for the maintenance of life and their absence can cause growth disorders, severe malfunction, carcinogenesis or death. They are protagonists as macro- or microelements in several structural and functional roles, participating in many bio-chemical reactions, and arise in several forms. They participate in intra- and intercellular communications, in maintaining electrical charges and osmotic pressure, in photosynthesis and electron transfer processes, in the maintenance of pairing, stacking and the stability of nucleotide bases and also in the regulation of DNA transcription. They contribute to the proper functioning of nerve cells, muscle cells, the brain and the heart, the transport of oxygen and to many other biological processes up to the point that we cannot even imagine a life without metals. In this book, the papers published in the Special Issue "The Role of Metal Ions in Biology, Biochemistry and Medicine" are summarized, providing a picture of metal ion uses in biology, biochemistry and medicine, but also pointing out the toxicity impacts on plants, animals, humans and the environment. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $a5-caffeoylquinic acid 610 $aadaptive response 610 $aaluminium 610 $aaseptic loosening 610 $abimetallic nanoparticles 610 $abioimaging 610 $abiosorption 610 $aCd toxicity 610 $achlorogenic acid 610 $achlorophyll fluorescence 610 $aclary sage 610 $acorrosion 610 $adead cells 610 $adetoxification mechanism 610 $adithizone 610 $adurum wheat 610 $aEDS-SEM 610 $aeffective quantum yield (?PS??) 610 $aexcitation pressure 610 $aGF-AAS 610 $ahormetic response 610 $ahydrogen peroxide 610 $ainflammation 610 $aions 610 $aLysinibacillus sphaericus 610 $amacrophages 610 $amarine angiosperms 610 $amature leaves 610 $amercury 610 $ametal ions 610 $amonocytes 610 $an/a 610 $ananoparticles 610 $anon-photochemical quenching 610 $anon-photochemical quenching (NPQ) 610 $aosteoblasts 610 $aosteolysis 610 $aoxidative stress 610 $aparticles 610 $aphotochemical quenching 610 $aphotochemical quenching (qp) 610 $aphotoinhibition 610 $aphotoprotection 610 $aphotoprotective mechanism 610 $aphotosynthesis 610 $aphotosynthetic heterogeneity 610 $aphytoremediation 610 $aplant phenolic compounds 610 $aplastoquinone pool 610 $areactive oxygen species 610 $areactive oxygen species (ROS) 610 $aredox state 610 $asafety 610 $asinglet oxygen (1O2) 610 $askin 610 $asolubility 610 $aspatiotemporal heterogeneity 610 $aspatiotemporal variation 610 $atitanium dioxide 610 $atoxicity 610 $atriticale 610 $ayoung leaves 610 $azinc 610 $azinc oxide nanoparticles 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aMoustakas$b Michael$4edt$01299442 702 $aMoustakas$b Michael$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557443903321 996 $aThe Role of Metal Ions in Biology, Biochemistry and Medicine$93025165 997 $aUNINA
