Transferrin: Biology and Use in Receptor-Targeted Nanotherapy of Gliomas
ACS Omega, 2021 Gliomas constitute 80% of malignant brain tumors. The survival rate of patients diagnosed with malignant gliomas is only 34.4%, as seen in both adults as well as children.

Heterotypic interactions between transferrin receptor and transferrin receptor 2 [PDF]
Blood, 2003 Cellular iron uptake in most tissues occurs via endocytosis of diferric transferrin (Tf) bound to the transferrin receptor (TfR). Recently, a second transferrin receptor, transferrin receptor 2 (TfR2), has been identified and shown to play a critical role in iron metabolism.

Transferrin Receptors in Erythropoiesis [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Erythropoiesis is a highly dynamic process giving rise to red blood cells from hematopoietic stem cells present in the bone marrow. Red blood cells transport oxygen to tissues thanks to the hemoglobin comprised of α- and β-globin chains and of iron-containing hemes.

BODY IRON STATUS INDICATORS AND INFLAMMATION INDICATORS DURING INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE THERAPY IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTES [PDF]
Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2021 BACKGROUND: The treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) consists of the induction and maintenance remission of the disease. Iron status indicators would be useful for the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia, whereas the inflammation ...

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 ...

Identification and in vivo characterization of a brain-penetrating nanobody
Fluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2020 Background Preclinical models to determine blood to brain transport ability of therapeutics are often ambiguous. In this study a method is developed that relies on CNS target-engagement and is able to rank brain-penetrating capacities. This method led to
