This book discusses the role of oxidative stress in human reproduction with a focus on men’s health. The physiological roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in male fertility are the focus in this book. This topic is important because oxidative stress is a result of the imbalance between ROS and antioxidants in the body which may lead to sperm damage (DNA or count), deformity, and eventually, male infertility. Therefore, for a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms related to male genotoxicity and its regulation in infertility, this book provides an up-to-date view on the impact of oxidative stress factors in male reproduction .

The main aim of this book is to collect a series of research articles and reviews from a diverse group of scientists to share their research work on the role of ROS or oxidative stress in physiological and pathological states in relation to (in)fertility in the male. This book presents various state-of-the-art chapters of the recent progress in the field of cellular toxicology and clinical manifestations of various issues related to men’s health and fertility. Topics include cell signaling, DNA damage and infertility, the pathophysiology of disease instigation and distribution, immune toxicity and prevention.

Volume Two advances the exploration of the fundamental principles of oxidative stress and toxicity on male (and female) reproduction. It includes the advances in research on male reproductive health, the impact of environmental factors, the protective measures using bioactive compounds and traditional medicines, and how to limit toxic exposure.  It includes coverage of:

Both volumes provide a comprehensive look at the most basic concepts and advanced research being conducted by world famous scientists and researchers in male infertility and reproduction.

This book explores the innovative landscape of functionalized cellulose materials, emphasizing sustainable manufacturing practices and their wide-ranging applications. Advanced functional materials have seen extensive utilization across various sectors, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, electronics, textiles, environmental management, healthcare, and energy, all of which align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These materials can be synthesized from both organic (primarily plant-based) and inorganic sources, utilizing sustainable biomass such as wheat, rice straw, wood fibers, and other renewable resources, with or without the incorporation of polymers and nanomaterials.

Featuring contributions from leading international researchers, this book provides a comprehensive overview of current challenges and advances in materials science and advanced manufacturing across diverse industries, including cellulose films, aerospace, automotive, marine, and biomedical fields. It covers state-of-the-art topics such as additive manufacturing, 3D printing, bio-manufacturing, and intelligent manufacturing systems. The book highlights key innovations and practical applications of cellulose-based functionalized materials, such as hydrogels, drug delivery platforms, and biomaterials. This field continues to expand through interdisciplinary collaboration, fostering advancements in green chemistry, sustainable manufacturing practices, and materials engineering while addressing pressing challenges in sustainability and circular economy frameworks.

This book thoroughly explores strategies and greener methods, chemical and biological treatments, sustainable chemistry, and technological advancements aimed at mitigating the harmful effects of chemicals on the environment. Modern societies are often exposed to various types of chemicals, originating from natural or man-made sources. These chemicals can cause environmental damage, and their long-term exposure has been found to contribute to deteriorating public health. The increasing global human population has led to higher demand for everyday materials, resulting in unprecedented industrial production levels. This growth also jeopardizes the value-added supply chains of essential chemical industries such as pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, biologics, biotech. Consequently, there is a greater need for the use of sustainable and environmentally friendly methods. For example, in recent years, strategies have been developed to efficiently handle agricultural waste to produce materials, fuel, fine chemicals, and energy.
