Iron is an essential element required by cells and has been described as a key player in
ferroptosis. Ferritin operates as a fundamental iron storage protein in cells forming …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are omnipresent in the ocean, originating from both
biological (eg, unbalanced metabolism or stress) and non-biological processes (eg …

The iron storage protein, ferritin, plays a key role in iron metabolism. Its ability to sequester
the element gives ferritin the dual functions of iron detoxification and iron reserve. The …

Berberine (BBR) has been explored as a potential anti-liver fibrosis agent, but the
underlying mechanisms are unknown. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the …

The dissolution behaviour of metal oxides has applications in many scientific fields, each
with its own jargon and methodological approach. Any scientist interested in this subject …

Preterm infants are at risk for both iron deficiency and iron overload. The role of iron in
multiple organ functions suggests that iron supplementation is essential for the preterm …

Complementary hydroxylation assays and stopped-flow esr techniques have been
employed in the investigation of the effect of various iron chelators (of chemical, biological …

Oxidative deposition of iron in ferritin or the autoxidation of iron in the absence of protein
produces radicals from Good's buffers. Radical species are formed from the piperazine ring …

Friedreich ataxia is a severe autosomal-recessive disease characterized by
neurodegeneration, cardiomyopathy and diabetes, resulting from reduced synthesis of the …

The human body is not equipped to eliminate excess iron. As a result, cells continously store
excess absorbed iron in a complex with the protein ferritin. This poses no great threat under …
