    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first reported in Wuhan, China, in late December 2019. Since then, COVID-19 has spread rapidly worldwide and was declared a global pandemic on 20 March 2020. Cardiovascular complications are rapidly emerging as a major peril in COVID-19 in addition to respiratory disease. The mechanisms underlying the excessive effect of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on patients with cardiovascular comorbidities remain only partly understood. SARS-CoV-2 infection is caused by binding of the viral surface spike (S) protein to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), followed by the activation of the S protein by transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2). ACE2 is expressed in the lung (mainly in type II alveolar cells), heart, blood vessels, small intestine, etc., and appears to be the predominant portal to the cellular entry of the virus. Based on current information, most people infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus have a good prognosis, while a few patients reach critical condition, especially the elderly and those with chronic underlying diseases. The "cytokine storm" observed in patients with severe COVID-19 contributes to the destruction of the endothelium, leading to "acute respiratory distress syndrome" (ARDS), multiorgan failure, and death. At the origin of the general proinflammatory state may be the SARS-CoV-2-mediated redox status in endothelial cells via the upregulation of ACE/Ang II/AT1 receptors pathway or the increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) production. Furthermore, this vicious circle between oxidative stress (OS) and inflammation induces endothelial dysfunction, endothelial senescence, high risk of thrombosis and coagulopathy. The microvascular dysfunction and the formation of microthrombi in a way differentiate the SARS-CoV-2 infection from the other respiratory diseases and bring it closer to cardiovascular diseases like myocardial infarction and stroke. Due the role played by OS in the evolution of viral infection and in the development of COVID-19 complications, the use of antioxidants as adjuvant therapy seems appropriate in this new pathology. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) could be a promising candidate that, through its wide tissue distribution and versatile antioxidant properties, interferes with several signaling pathways. Thus, ALA improves endothelial function by restoring the endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity and presents an anti-inflammatory effect dependent or independent of its antioxidant properties. By improving mitochondrial function, it can sustain the tissues' homeostasis in critical situation and by enhancing the reduced glutathione it could indirectly strengthen the immune system. This complex analysis could open a new therapeutic perspective for ALA in COVID-19 infection.

    Abstract Antioxidants in cancer therapy have been a hot topic in the medical field for 20 years. Antioxidants are able to reduce the risk of cancer formation by neutralizing free radicals. Protons (H+) and molecular hydrogen (H2) interact in the cell and are essential in a wide variety of processes. The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic effects of H2 have been studied in numerous experimental and clinical studies. Experimental data indicate that H2 is an antitumor agent in the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM). In vivo H2 inhalation could suppress the growth of GBM tumors, thereby extending the survival of mice with GBM. The sphere-forming ability of glioma cells was suppressed by hydrogen treatment. In addition, H2 treatment also suppressed the migration, invasion, and colony-forming ability of glioma cells. Proton therapy and proton beam radiotherapy offer some advantages over other modern conformal photon-based therapies when used in the treatment of central nervous system malignancies.

    Abstract In an adult human, billions of cells die and turn over daily. During this process, many apoptotic cells are produced and subsequently cleared by phagocytes - a process termed efferocytosis, which plays a critical role in tissue homeostasis. Efferocytosis is an important mechanism in the control of inflammatory processes. Efficient efferocytosis inhibits accumulation of apoptotic cells/debris and maintains homeostasis before the onset of necrosis (secondary necrosis), which promotes inflammation or injury. During efferocytosis, mitochondrial fission and the oxidative stress process are linked through reactive oxygen species production and oxidative stress control. Autophagy plays an important role in inhibiting inflammation and apoptosis, and in promoting efferocytosis by activated inflammatory cells, particularly neutrophils and macrophages. Autophagy in neutrophils is activated by phagocytosis of pathogens or activation of pattern recognition receptors. Autophagy is essential for major neutrophil functions, including degranulation, reactive oxygen species production, oxidative stress and release of neutrophil extracellular cytokines. Failed efferocytosis is a key mechanism driving the development and progression of chronic inflammatory diseases, including atherosclerosis, cardiometabolic pathology, neurodegenerative disease and cancer. Impairment of efferocytosis in apoptotic macrophages is a determinant of atherosclerosis severity and the vulnerability of plaques to rupture. Recent results suggest that inhibition of efferocytosis in the protection of the myocardium results in reduced infiltration of reparatory macrophages into the tissue, in association with oxidative stress reduction. Activated macrophages play a central role in the development and resolution of inflammation. The resolution of inflammation through efferocytosis is an endogenous process that protects host tissues from prolonged or excessive inflammation. Accordingly, therapeutic strategies that ameliorate efferocytosis control would be predicted to dampen inflammation and improve resolution. Thus, therapies targeting efferocytosis will provide a new means of treating and preventing cardiovascular and metabolic diseases involving the chronic inflammatory state.

    Abstract In the brain, aging is accompanied by cellular and functional deficiencies that promote vulnerability to neurodegenerative disorders. In blood plasma from young and old animals, various factors such as growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11), whose levels are elevated in young animals, have been identified. The blood concentrations of these factors appear to be inversely correlated with the age-related decline of neurogenesis. The identification of GDF11 as a "rejuvenating factor" opens up perspectives for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. As a pro-neurogenic and pro-angiogenic agent, GDF11 may constitute a basis for novel therapeutic strategies.
