This process not only affects normal cell metabolism, but also directly or indirectly damages biological macromolecules, including proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, etc., thus interfering with many aspects of cell signaling, energy production, gene expression, and cell cycle regulation (Zaarour et al., 2023)
