About this Research Topic
The aim of the Volume 2 of this Research Topic is to highlight recent advances in our understanding of the physiological and pharmacological functions of H2S. We invite investigators to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that will stimulate the continuing efforts to understand the biogenesis, metabolism and biological functions of H2S. Submission of pharmacological functions/toxic effects and other related sulfide containing compounds are also welcome. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
•Biological function in the new compounds releasing H2S, polysulfide and SO2
•New methods for detection of endogenous and exogenous H2S
•Advances in biosynthesis and metabolism of H2S.
•Current understanding about protein sulfhydration
•Signaling mechanisms underlying the biological functions of H2S
•Prospect of sulfide-containing nature products and H2S synthesis inhibitors as therapeutic drugs
Keywords: Hydrogen Sulfide; gaseous transmitter; sulfur dioxide; polysulfide; sulfhydration
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
