resistance against anticancer agents. The selective antitumor and antimetastatic chelator di …

In this work, the design of a new generation of functionalized large pore silica nanoparticles
is addressed for the specific removal of iron from biological environments. Herein …

A number of reports have appeared in literature calling attention to the depletion of essential
metal ions during chelation therapy on β-thalassaemia patients. We present a speciation …

An excessive amount of iron may become extremely toxic both for its ability to generate
reactive oxygen species, and for the lack of regulatory mechanisms for iron excretion in …
