Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1994•ElsevierDuring the past 25 years, the field of free radical biology has germinated sprouted, and
flowered. Free radicals derived from molecular oxygen, formerly of interest only to radiation
chemists, are now known to play multiple roles in living systems. We will here consider the
