Oct 22nd, 2020 - Kufor-Rakeb Syndrome (KRS) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by Parkinsonism, pyramidal signs, dementia, and supranuclear gaze palsy. KRS is caused by mutations in ATP13A2producing a transmembrane protein responsible for the regulati...

Sep 26th, 2020 - Iron overload in water is a problem in many areas of the world, which could exert toxic effects on fish. To achieve maximum growth and overall fitness, iron induced toxicity must be alleviated. Therefore, this research was undertaken to investigat...

Sep 15th, 2020 - In search of novel strategies to improve the outcome of advanced prostate cancer, we considered that prostate cancer cells rearrange iron homeostasis, favoring iron uptake and proliferation. We exploited this adaptation by exposing prostate cancer...

Aug 18th, 2020 - Iron is required for the oxidative response of neutrophils to allow the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, neutrophil function may be severely altered in conditions of iron overload, as observed in chronically transfused patient...

May 29th, 2020 - One of the potential contributing factors for iron overload-induced osteoporosis is the iron toxicity on bone forming cells, osteoblasts. In this study, the comparative effects of Fe3+ and Fe2+ on osteoblast differentiation and mineralization were...

Feb 27th, 2017 - Researchers have sought a blood substitute for over 150 years, and they've all failed. Now, one candidate has demonstrated promising early results, while another nears clinical trials again, reported STAT. ErythroMer encloses hemoglobin in a synth...

Jul 19th, 2016 - Red blood cells A new study contradicts previous beliefs about how the body disposes of red blood cells (RBCs) and recycles their iron. The work suggests the accumulation and removal of aged or damaged RBCs largely takes place in the liver rather.
