Exploring the role of boron-containing compounds in biological systems: Potential applications and key challenges
Background
Boron, a naturally abundant trace element, plays a crucial role in various biological processes and influences important physiological functions such as bone health, immune response, and cellular metabolism. Its applications span diverse scientific fields including anatomy, pharmacology, reproduction, medicine, and agriculture.
Objectives
This review examines the diverse functions of boron-compounds in biological systems and highlights their therapeutic potential, challenges associated with toxicity, and mechanisms underlying their biological interactions.
Methods
In this paper, the literature on boron action was reviewed, paying special attention to studies that examined the effects of boron on health and its therapeutic applications in multiple areas.
Results
Boron exhibits broad therapeutic potential by affecting several pathways. However, excessive consumption can cause toxicity and negatively impact health. Current research only partially elucidates the mechanisms of boron's biological effects, so further studies are needed.
Conclusion
Understanding boron's interactions in biological systems is critical to optimizing its application in healthcare and ensuring safety. Future research will improve our knowledge of boron's biological effects and promote innovative therapeutic applications.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides the reader with a thorough description of theoretical and applied aspects of trace elements in medicine and biology and is devoted to the advancement of scientific knowledge about trace elements and trace element species. Trace elements play essential roles in the maintenance of physiological processes. During the last decades there has been a great deal of scientific investigation about the function and binding of trace elements. The Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology focuses on the description and dissemination of scientific results concerning the role of trace elements with respect to their mode of action in health and disease and nutritional importance. Progress in the knowledge of the biological role of trace elements depends, however, on advances in trace elements chemistry. Thus the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology will include only those papers that base their results on proven analytical methods.
Also, we only publish those articles in which the quality assurance regarding the execution of experiments and achievement of results is guaranteed.
