Bioluminescence is closely related to the electron transfer and the production of reactive oxygen species in the process of metabolism. In the process of chemical recombination reaction, the highly active peroxides in cells generate singlet oxygen or excited carbonyl, and when they return to the ground state, they radiate photons of a different wavelength. Bioluminescence has great potential and value in the study of complex biological systems. Whether it can send clear and quantitative signals at a very low concentration, or its low background advantage in mammalian cells, bioluminescence detection technology has a unique position in the process of revealing the mystery of life. Bioluminescence is closely related to the physiology and pathology of organisms, so it also plays an important role in clinical diagnosis, crop genetic diagnosis, and environmental monitoring. It not only opens up a new research way for the study of life science and the occurrence and development of diseases, but also provides a new means for clinical diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
This Research Topic will bring new advances in the detection technology of bioluminescence and its application in life science and biomedical fields, including chemistry, biology, biochemistry, traditional Chinese medicine, etc. Compilation of novel research findings in this collection would certainly help the future developments in this research area.
We welcome the submission of Original Research Articles, Reviews, Mini-Reviews, and Perspectives on themes that include, but are not limited to:
• Bioluminescence;
• Chemiluminescence;
• Novel detection technology of bioluminescence;
• Oxidative stress;
• Mitochondrial dysfunction;
• Application in the research of traditional Chinese medicine;
• Applications in the life science and medical fields.
