Barriers and carriers for transition metal homeostasis in plants [PDF]
Plant CommunicationsTransition metals are types of metals with high chemical activity. They play critical roles in plant growth, development, reproduction, and environmental adaptation, as well as in human health. However, the acquisition, transport, and storage of these metals pose specific challenges due to their high reactivity and poor solubility.

A Small-Molecule Modulator of Metal Homeostasis in Gram-Positive Pathogens [PDF]
mBio, 2020 Metals are essential nutrients that all living organisms acquire from their environment. While metals are necessary for life, excess metal uptake can be toxic; therefore, intracellular metal levels are tightly regulated in bacterial cells. Staphylococcus
