Magnetic resonance imaging of tumors colonized with bacterial ferritin-expressing Escherichia coli. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that human ferritin can be used as a reporter of gene expression for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Bacteria also encode three classes of ferritin-type molecules with iron accumulation properties.

A Bioinformatics-Assisted Review on Iron Metabolism and Immune System to Identify Potential Biomarkers of Exercise Stress-Induced Immunosuppression

Biomedicines, 2022
The immune function is closely related to iron (Fe) homeostasis and allostasis. The aim of this bioinformatics-assisted review was twofold; (i) to update the current knowledge of Fe metabolism and its relationship to the immune system, and (ii) to ...

The Distribution of Ferritins in Marine Copepods

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Iron is an essential element for the functioning of cellular processes. Ferritins, the major intracellular iron storage proteins, convert the free Fe2+ into the nontoxic Fe3+ which can be stored and transported where needed.
