Summary Patients with transfusion‐dependent thalassaemia (TDT) require chronic, life‐sustaining red blood cell transfusions, which contribute to iron overload and associated morbidity and mortality. Luspatercept, an inhibitor of the transforming growth factor‐beta pathway, decreases transfusion requirements in a subset of transfusion‐dependent β ...

Deferiprone and gallium-protoporphyrin have the capacity to potentiate the activity of antibiotics in Staphylococcus aureus small colony variants [PDF]
Small colony variants (SCVs) of bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus are characterized by a reduced colony size and are linked to increased antibiotic tolerance and resistance.

Effects of chelators (desferal, deferiprone & deferaairox) on the growth of klebsiella and aeromonas isolated from transfusion dependent thalassemia patients [PDF]
Poster Presentation (Doctor’s Session)Infection is among the leading causes of death for thalassemia major patients. The known predisposing factors of infection include prior splenectomy, iron overload and use of iron chelator such as desferal ...

This study demonstrates that combination of phosphosensitizer‐conjugated chitosan nanoparticles and ferroptosis inducer RSL3 increases cell death in mesenchymal breast cancer cells. Data suggests that this is attributed to variations in ferroptosis‐related protein expression, lipid peroxydation and mitochondrial function.

Effect of trace iron levels and iron withdrawal by chelation on the growth of Candida albicans and Candida vini [PDF]
The iron requirements of the opportunistic pathogenic yeast, Candida albicans, and the related nonpathogenic spoilage yeast Candida vini were investigated along with their responses to various exogenous iron chelators.

Nickel hydroxide films in contact with an electroactive solution. A study employing electrochemical impedance measurements [PDF]
The deactivation of nickel hydroxide films after prolonged storage times without use was studied. This study was carried out in the context of the Rotating Disc Electrode Voltammetry (RDEV) andElectrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) when the nickel ...

TFRC may serve as a critical prognostic indicator for risk assessment in EC patients and propose TFRC as a promising therapeutic target to impede EC progression. The upregulation of TFRC‐mediated iron absorption facilitated the proliferation of EC, suggesting that iron chelators had the potential to be a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of
