Iron Uptake and Homeostasis in Microorganisms
, 2010 Preface. Iron is considered to be a minor element employed, in a variety of forms, by nearly all living organisms. In some cases, it is utilised in large quantities, for instance for the formation of magnetosomes within magnetotactic bacteria or ...

Analysis of MRI-derived spleen iron in the UK Biobank identifies genetic variation linked to iron homeostasis and hemolysis [PDF]
, 2022 The spleen plays a key role in iron homeostasis. It is the largest filter of the blood and performs iron reuptake from old or damaged erythrocytes. Despite this role, spleen iron concentration has not been measured in a large, population-based cohort. In

The Role of Sulfur in Agronomic Biofortification with Essential Micronutrients
Plants, 2022 Sulfur (S) is an essential macronutrient for plants, being necessary for their growth and metabolism and exhibiting diverse roles throughout their life cycles. Inside the plant body, S is present either in one of its inorganic forms or incorporated in an

Insights into molecular mechanisms of disease in Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation; unifying theories. [PDF]
, 2016 Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) is a group of disorders characterised by dystonia, parkinsonism and spasticity. Iron accumulates in the basal ganglia and may be accompanied by Lewy bodies, axonal swellings and hyperphosphorylated ...

Metalloreductase Steap3 coordinates the regulation of iron homeostasis and inflammatory responses
Haematologica, 2012 Background Iron and its homeostasis are intimately related to inflammatory responses, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. We investigated the role of Steap3 in regulating iron homeostasis in macrophages, and the effects of ...

Benefits and risks of iron supplementation in anemic neonatal pigs. [PDF]
, 2010 Iron deficiency is a common health problem. The most severe consequence of this disorder is iron deficiency anemia (IDA), which is considered the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide. Newborn piglets are an ideal model to explore the multifaceted
