Combined use of x-ray fluorescence microscopy, phase contrast imaging for high resolution quantitative iron mapping in inflamed cells [PDF]
X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XRFM) is a powerful technique to detect and localize elements in cells. To derive information useful for biology and medicine, it is essential not only to localize, but also to map quantitatively the element concentration ...

Ferroportin depletes iron needed for cell cycle progression in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
IntroductionFerroportin (FPN), the only identified eukaryotic iron efflux channel, plays an important role in iron homeostasis and is downregulated in many cancers.

Ferroportin and Erythroid Cells: An Update [PDF]
In recent years there have been major advances in our knowledge of the regulation of iron metabolism that have had implications for understanding the pathophysiology of some human disorders like beta-thalassemia and other iron overload diseases.

Ironing out the details: Untangling dietary iron and genetic background in diabetes [PDF]
The search for genetic risk factors in type-II diabetes has been hindered by a failure to consider dietary variables. Dietary nutrients impact metabolic disease risk and severity and are essential to maintaining metabolic health.

Hepcidin induces HIV-1 transcription inhibited by ferroportin
Background Physiological regulation of cellular iron involves iron export by the membrane protein, ferroportin, the expression of which is induced by iron and negatively modulated by hepcidin.

Iron-tracking strategies: Chaperones capture iron in the cytosolic labile iron pool
Cells express hundreds of iron-dependent enzymes that rely on the iron cofactors heme, iron-sulfur clusters, and mono-or di-nuclear iron centers for activity.

Efficacy of lactoferrin oral administration in the treatment of anemia and anemia of inflammation in pregnant and non-pregnant women: an interventional study [PDF]
The discovery of the ferroportin-hepcidin complex has led to a critical review on the treatment of anemia and anemia of inflammation (AI). Ferroportin, the only known mammalian iron exporter from cells to blood, is negatively regulated by hepcidin, a ...

The dynamics of hepcidin‐ferroportin internalization and consequences of a novel ferroportin disease mutation [PDF]
AbstractThe hepcidin‐ferroportin axis underlies the pathophysiology of many iron‐associated disorders and is a key target for the development of therapeutics for treating iron‐associated disorders. The aims of this study were to investigate the dynamics of hepcidin‐mediated ferroportin internalization and the consequences of a novel disease‐causing ...
