Comparison of LaBr3:Ce and CeBr3 scintillators for 55Fe detection
Nuclear Engineering and TechnologyThe detection capability for 55Fe was compared using 1'' × 1″ LaBr3:Ce and CeBr3 scintillators. To enable low-energy X-ray measurements, the top of the scintillator housing was modified with a beryllium window, allowing the detection of a 5.9 keV peak ...

Identification of New Key Players for Ferrous Iron Export in the Asymmetric Inner Gate of Human Ferroportin 1. [PDF]
FASEB JFerroportin 1 is an iron exporter belonging to the Major Facilitator Superfamily. Its unusual intracellular gate is formed by asymmetric networks of non‐covalent bonds. We analyzed these networks using Molecular Dynamics simulations and experimental tests and identified novel amino acids as key players in inter‐lobe connections.

The cytochrome oxidase defect in ISC-depleted yeast is caused by impaired iron-sulfur cluster maturation of the mitoribosome assembly factor Rsm22. [PDF]
FEBS LettThe yeast mitoribosome assembly factor Rsm22 contains a [4Fe‐4S] cluster that is matured by the mitochondrial iron–sulfur cluster assembly (ISC) machinery. Defects in ISC components result in impaired mitochondrial protein synthesis due to a mitoribosome assembly defect.

Brain iron acquisition depends on age and sex in iron-deficient mice. [PDF]
FASEB JDevelopmental iron deficiency (ID) increased the brain 55Fe uptake in both males and females compared to the control mice. In adult mice, ID increases iron uptake in males but not females. The uptake of 55Fe was 10 times higher in the developing mice compared to the adult mice regardless of the sex and diet.

The Emotional Labour of the Coach - in and out of the coaching ‘room’ [PDF]
International Journal of Evidence Based Coaching and Mentoring, 2022 Emotional labour is the activity of maintaining an appropriate outward demeanour at work. This study employed a phenomenological approach, using conceptual encounter, to explore the under-researched emotional labour of the coach.
