Key players in the regulation of iron homeostasis at the host-pathogen interface
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Iron plays a crucial role in the biochemistry and development of nearly all living organisms. Iron starvation of pathogens during infection is a striking feature utilized by a host to quell infection.

Transferrin-polycation conjugates as carriers for DNA uptake into cells. [PDF]
, 1990 We have developed a high-efficiency nucleic acid delivery system that uses receptor-mediated endocytosis to carry DNA macromolecules into cells. We accomplished this by conjugating the iron-transport protein transferrin to polycations that bind nucleic ...
