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.

Three Silver(I) Coordination Polymers Based on Pyridyl Ligands and Auxiliary Carboxylic Ligands: Luminescence and Efficient Sensing Properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, three coordination polymers were assembled by reactions using Ag+ as a node with the pyridyl ligand 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(4-pyridine)benzene (bztpy) or 9,10-bis(4pyrideyl)anthracene (Bpa) and an auxiliary chelating carboxylic ligand.

Septic shock caused by Plesiomonas shigelloides in a patient with sickle beta-zero thalassemia.

TL;DR: A case of a 16-year-old female patient with sickle beta-zero thalassemia who survived septic shock caused by P. shigelloides associated with secondary acute respiratory distress syndrome and disseminated intravascular coagulation is reported.

Polymorphism of the transferrin gene in eye diseases: keratoconus and Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy.

TL;DR: Investigation of the association between three polymorphisms of the TF gene found a decrease in KC occurrence associated with the A/G genotype of the g.3296G>A polymorphism, while the G allele was negatively correlated with it and no association was found between all three polymorphism and FECD occurrence.

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.

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.

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.
