Mysteries of the Transferrin-Transferrin Receptor 1 Interaction Uncovered [PDF]
Cell, 2004 How does the iron (Fe) binding protein, transferrin (Tf), bind to the transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) to donate Fe to cells? In this issue of Cell, Cheng et al., describe the molecular structure of the human TfR1-Tf complex, This atomic model shows that Tf binds laterally to the TfR1 dimer and extends into the gap between the bottom of the receptor ...

The Regulation of Trace Metal Elements in Cancer Ferroptosis
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.The induction of ferroptosis inhibits tumor growth, enhances anticancer efficacy, and overcomes drug resistance. Recent evidence shows nonferrous metal elements play a role in ferroptosis. This review focuses on how trace metals regulate ferroptosis processes like iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defense.

The rab11 effector protein FIP1 regulates adiponectin trafficking and secretion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Adiponectin is an adipokine secreted by white adipocytes involved in regulating insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues. Secretion of adiponectin in adipocytes relies on the endosomal system, however, the intracellular machinery involved in mediating ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A biofabricated 3D in vitro model recapitulating endochondral ossification (ECO) is described, mimicking the steps from condensation to chondrogenesis and hypertrophy, culminating with vascularization of the hypertrophic construct. As a model proof of concept application, Ewing Sarcoma cells are seeded in the model, showing modifications in their ...

Transferrin‐Directed Internalization and Cycling of Transferrin Receptor 2 [PDF]
Traffic, 2009 Transferrin receptor 2 (TfR2) is a homologue of transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) but has distinct functions from TfR1 in iron homeostasis. In keeping with its proposed role in iron sensing, previous studies showed that TfR2 has a short half‐life and that holo‐Tf stabilizes TfR2 by redirecting it from a degradative pathway to a recycling pathway.

The significance of soluble transferrin receptors in diagnosing iron deficiency anemia
Romanian Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2015 Introduction. In recent years, determination of soluble transferrin receptor levels has been emerging as a test that can reliably indicate iron deficiency in various states, and that is non-invasive and easy to use.
