Iron and Other Metal Ions in Human Health and Disease

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Iron, copper, zinc, and calcium orchestrate cellular function through distinct yet cooperative mechanisms: redox‐active iron and copper cycle between oxidation states to act as Fenton catalysts and electron carriers in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS); redox‐inert zinc serves as a structural component of zinc‐finger proteins and a catalytic cofactor ...

Decontamination of prions, prion-associated amyloid and inefectivity from surgical stainless steel - implications for the risk of iatrogenic transmission of CJD

open access: yes, 2009
The physicochemical nature of the infectious agent in prion diseases creates asignificant challenge for decontamination services. It has been shown to be both resistant tostandard methods of decontamination, used to inactivate viruses and bacteria, and ...

Acute stress and multicellular development alter the solubility of the Dictyostelium Sup35 ortholog ERF3

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
Among sequenced organisms, the genome of Dictyostelium discoideum is unique in that it encodes for a massive amount of repeat-rich sequences in the coding region of genes.

The Exceptions to the Central Dogma of Biology—Bending the Rules and Extending the Scope

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The central dogma is an organizing framework for how information flows in biological systems. First presented in 1957 by Francis Crick in his talk “On Protein Synthesis” as a fundamental hypothesis of how information is transferred from DNA to proteins but not out of proteins, it is now introduced in cell biology textbooks as three sequential ...

Modular Metalloprotein Nanowires With Semiconductor‐Scale Conductivity and Tunable Redox Behavior

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Conductive protein nanowires are built by aligning three different metalloproteins along an ultrastable filament scaffold. The resulting micrometer‐length nanowires reach conductivities of 1.75 S cm−1. Redox behavior is set by the metalloprotein chosen, while conductivity is governed by the spacing the scaffold imposes, making both independently ...

An Integrated Analysis of Manganese Metabolism‐Related Genes and Their Association With Biomarkers, Immune Infiltration, and Clinical Subtypes in Alzheimer's Disease

open access: yesGenes, Brain and Behavior, Volume 25, Issue 5, October 2026.
This study investigates the role of manganese metabolism in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Using integrated bioinformatics and machine learning, four core manganese‐related diagnostic genes (TSPO, PTBP1, GLO1, ACACB) were identified, showing high diagnostic accuracy. The analysis also revealed significant immune microenvironment alterations and

ACAT1, Cav-1, and PrP expression in brains and skin fibroblasts from Sarda breed sheep with scrapie-resistant and scrapie-susceptible genotype. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Scrapie is an infective ovine neurodegenerative disease; the only identified component of the infectious agent being an aberrant isoform (PrPSc) of the cellular prion protein (PrPC). So far, no means for ante-mortem diagnosis are available for Scrapie as
