Micronutrient Deficiencies and Cognitive Functioning [PDF]

The Journal of Nutrition, 2003
The relationship between four micronutrient deficiencies (iodine, iron, zinc and vitamin B-12) and children's cognitive functioning is reviewed. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy has negative and irreversible effects on the developing fetus. Although there is some evidence that postnatal iodine deficiency is associated with cognitive deficits, the ...

Reprogramming M2b Macrophages via GPX1 Activation by Selenium Nanoparticles Attenuates Lupus Nephritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SeZM NPs selectively target M2b macrophages through mannose–MRC1 (CD206) recognition, enhance GPX1 biosynthesis, and suppress mitochondrial ROS generation, oxidative stress, and JAK–STAT signaling. This dual regulation reduces pro‐inflammatory cytokine release, limits immune cell infiltration and fibrosis, and preserves renal function, providing a ...

Asymmetric Cu─N─Ru Bridgedsite Nanozyme‐Loaded Injectable Thermogel Boosts Cuproptosis‐Like Death for Multidrug‐Resistant Urinary Tract Infections

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
To address multidrug‐resistant urinary tract infections (MDR‐UTIs), we developed Cu‐ZIF8‐Ru nanozyme featuring an asymmetric Cu─N─Ru catalytic site. This unique structure enhances multienzyme‐mimetic activity, eradicating resistant bacteria by inducing a cuproptosis‐like death pathway through intracellular Cu2+ accumulation and energy depletion.

Supplementation of micronutrients in community micronutrient deficiency prevention programmes

Annals of Ibadan Postgraduate Medicine, 2011
Micronutrient deficiency affects about 2 billion people all over the world. The major micronutrient deficiencies which are of public health importance include vitamin A, iron and iodine deficiencies. The deficiencies of these micronutrients cause a variety of morbidities and increased mortality which are most severe in children, adolescent girls and ...

Gel‐Amin for Improving Extracellular Recordings of Cardiomyocytes in a 3D Microphysiological System

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This work combines a conductive collagen‐based hydrogel with a laser‐cut and assembly technique to fabricate microphysiological systems that improve extracellular recordings of cardiomyocytes in 3D on microelectrode arrays. The inclusion of choline acrylate into GelMA imparts a higher electrical conductivity and improves the signal‐to‐noise ratio of on‐
