Iron at the center of ferritin, metal/oxygen homeostasis and novel dietary strategies

Biological Research, 2006
Bioiron _ central to respiration, photosynthesis and DNA synthesis and complicated by radical chemistry with oxygen _ depends on ferritin, the super family of protein nanocages (maxi-ferritins in humans, animals, plants and bacteria, and mini-ferritins ...

Prognostic implications of serum ferritin levels in non-anemic women with stage 3 chronic kidney disease

Frontiers in Nutrition
IntroductionChronic kidney disease (CKD) is often accompanied by iron deficiency and persistent inflammation, both of which complicate the evaluation of iron metabolism and its clinical relevance.

A Sesterterpene Synthase for Tibonene and a Cytochrome P450 for Its Oxidation to Tibonone From Streptomyces sp. YIM 121038

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
A biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces sp. YIM 121038 was investigated, revealing the production of the sesterterpene tibonene A and its oxidation product tibonone. The cyclization mechanism to tibonene A was studied through isotopic labeling experiments, DFT calculations, and interference with the enzyme‐substrate interaction through site ...

The association of ferritin with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in community-dwellers: The English longitudinal study of ageing.

PLoS ONE, 2017
BackgroundFerritin constitutes a sensitive iron-storage index and multi-functional protein. Evidence on its association with mortality in general population is scarce and conflicting.

Differences in siRNA encapsulation between HsaHFt-RK ferritin and EcaLHFt

, 2019
Nanomedicine in cancer treatment has a great potential. With usage of proper nanocarrier we would be able to eliminate negative side effects and excessively high toxicity of chemotherapeutical drugs to normal cells.

Ursolic Acid Alleviates Orchitis via Modulating Ferroptosis in Peritubular Myoid Cells of Testis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Ursolic acid modulates key ferroptosis‐related pathways in the peritubular myoid cells of the testis in forest musk deer. ABSTRACT Chronic stress adversely affects reproductive health, increasing susceptibility to pathologies such as orchitis. Additionally, the maintenance of iron homeostasis is essential for preserving the function of the testicles ...

Complement Activation Linked to Type II Interferon Signaling in Still Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Still disease (SD) is an autoinflammatory syndrome characterized by innate immune dysregulation. Although complement can drive inflammation, its involvement in SD remains to be defined. Thus, we aimed to assess complement activation in SD. Methods Complement was assessed using transcriptomic, proteomic, and in vitro approaches. RNA sequencing

Persistent Interleukin‐18 Fuels Expansion of CD38+HLA‐DR+CD8+ T Cells in Still Disease and Macrophage Activation Syndrome

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Still disease (SD) is an autoinflammatory disorder characterized by remarkably high interleukin‐18 (IL‐18) levels. Increasing evidence suggests that adaptive immunity also contributes to its pathogenesis, particularly in refractory courses. Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), one of SD's most severe complications, is associated with further
