Targeting copper metabolism to defeat KRAS-driven colorectal cancer
KRAS-driven cancers acquire profound metabolic dependencies that are intimately linked to tumor growth. Our work revealed that colorectal cancers that harbor KRAS mutations are addicted to copper metabolism. This adaptation renders tumor cells critically

Inborn errors of copper metabolism [PDF]
Two copper-transporting ATPases are essential for mammalian copper homeostasis: ATP7A, which mediates copper uptake in the gastrointestinal tract and copper delivery to the brain, and ATP7B, which mediates copper excretion by the liver into bile. Mutations in ATP7A may cause three distinct X-linked conditions in infants, children, or adolescents ...

Human whole-body copper metabolism [PDF]
Whole-body copper metabolism is difficult to study in human subjects. However, the use of isotopic tracers and kinetics modeling has added a dimension beyond what can be learned in humans by direct measurement. Mechanisms regulating total body copper seem to be strong, given the relatively small and constant body pool, but they are not yet well ...

Menkes disease (MD) is an X‐linked copper metabolism disorder associated with bladder diverticula (BD). BD in MD may easily perforate more than common BD because of connective tissue damage.

Costs of Chronic Waterborne Zinc Exposure and the Consequences of Zinc Acclimation on the Gill/Zinc Interactions of Rainbow Trout in Hard and Soft Water [PDF]
Juvenile rainbow trout were exposed to zinc in both moderately hard water (hardness 5 120 mg CaCO3/L, pH = 8.0, Zn = 150 μg/L or 450 μg/L) and soft water (hardness = 20 mg CaCO3/L, pH = 7.2, Zn = 50 μg/L or 120 μg/L) for 30 d.

Investigation of relationships through which biodynamic growing practices affect plant growth and nutrient composition : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science in Soil Science at Massey University [PDF]
Author also known as Gillian Leslie ColeMore research attention has been paid to development of indicators of soil quality in relation to environmental sustainability than to food quality.

Copper exposure and potential biomarkers of copper metabolism
Relevant biological effects associated with mild to moderate copper deficiency and copper excess are unknown. It is difficult to identify markers of these early changes because limits of the homeostatic range are still undefined and early changes may represent adaptive responses that do not imply necessarily risk of damage.

Wilson's disease - clinical picture, factors influencing disease progression, treatment methods
Wilson's disease, also known as hepatolenticular degeneration, is a rare genetic metabolic disorder that leads to excessive accumulation of copper in the body, particularly in the liver and brain.
