Feb 7th, 2020 - Mutations in the human ATP13A2 gene are associated with an early-onset form of Parkinson's disease (PD) known as Kufor Rakeb Syndrome (KRS). Patients with KRS show increased iron deposition in the basal ganglia, suggesting iron toxicity-induced ne...

Jan 10th, 2020 - Red Blood Cell (RBC) transfusion dependence is a prevalent consequence of anaemia in patients with lower risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS). These patients have shorter survival compared to patients responding to Erythropoiesis-stimulating agent...

Jan 3rd, 2020 - Rice wild relatives (RWR) constitute an extended gene pool that can be tapped for the breeding of novel rice varieties adapted to abiotic stresses such as iron (Fe) toxicity. Therefore, we screened 75 Oryza genotypes including 16 domesticated O. s...

Dec 4th, 2019 - Excess iron (Fe) is commonly observed in wetland rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants, impairing crop growth and productivity. Some information suggests that silicon (Si) can reduce Fe content in leaves and roots of rice (vegetative phase), but nothing i...

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.

Abstract Iron deficiency is common among patients with advanced kidney disease, particularly those requiring hemodialysis. Intravenous iron is a convenient treatment to supplement iron and is widely used among hemodialysis patients. Its efficacy i...
