TLDR
Iron has the capacity to accept and donate electrons readily, interconverting between ferric (Fe2+) and ferrous (Fe3+) forms, which makes it a useful component of cytochromes, oxygen-binding molecules, and many enzymes.

A dual-responsive colorimetric and fluorescent chemosensor based on diketopyrrolopyrrole derivative for naked-eye detection of Fe 3 + and its practical application

TL;DR: A novel dual-responsive colorimetric and fluorescent chemosensor L based on diketopyrrolopyrrole derivative for Fe3+ detection exhibited high anti-interference performance, good reversibility, wide pH response range and instantaneous response time.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel and facile liquid whistle hydrodynamic cavitation reactor to produce submicron multiple emulsions

TL;DR: In this article, a high-pressure liquid whistle hydrodynamic cavitation reactor has been developed to produce highly stable W/O/W multiple emulsions containing Ferrous Fumarate in submicron scale.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioinspired Coordination Micelles Integrating High Stability, Triggered Cargo Release, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging

TL;DR: A simple "three birds with one stone" approach to engineer the robust theranostic nanomedicine platform and the presence of Fe3+ endowed the micelles T1-weighted MRI capability both in vitro and in vivo without the incorporation of traditional toxic paramagnetic contrast agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Review: Interplay of Iron Metallobiology, Metalloproteinases, and FXIII, and Role of Their Gene Variants in Venous Leg Ulcer

TL;DR: The mechanism by which dysregulated iron cycle leads to local iron overload that could generate free radicals or activate a proteolytic hyperactivity on the part of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) or else downregulate tissue inhibitors of MMPs is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Iron, Its Metabolism and Ferroptosis in Traumatic Brain Injury.

TL;DR: This review will focus on the mechanisms of iron and ferroptosis involving the manifestations of TBI, and broaden the understanding of the use of iron chelators for TBI.

A novel MHC class-I-like gene is mutated in patients with hereditary haemochromatosis

John N. Feder
- 01 Jan 1996 - 
TL;DR: Using linkage–disequilibrium and full haplotype analysis, a region more than 3 megabases telomeric of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) that is identical–by–descent in 85% of patient chromosomes is identified, containing a gene related to the MHC class I family, termed HLA–H, containing two missense alterations.

Cloning and characterization of a mammalian proton-coupled metal-ion transporter

TL;DR: A new metal-ion transporter in the rat, DCT1, which has an unusually broad substrate range that includes Fe2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, Ni2+ and Pb2+.

Prevalence of Iron Deficiency in the United States

TL;DR: Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia are still relatively common in toddlers, adolescent girls, and women of childbearing age and were more likely in those who are minority, low income, and multiparous.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microcytic anaemia mice have a mutation in Nramp2, a candidate iron transporter gene.

TL;DR: A positional cloning strategy is undertaken to identify the causative mutation in mice with microcytic anaemia, and it is suggested that the phenotype is a consequence of a missense mutation in Nramp2 (ref. 5), a previously identified gene of unknown function.
