The beta cells in the pancreas act as highly sensitive sensors that constantly measure the amount of sugar in our blood. As soon as we eat something and the sugar level rises, the beta cells produce ...

A novel, rapid and non‑destructive method was developed to provide real-time insights into iron flux in mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) using a micromagnetic resonance relaxometry (µMRR) device The ...

In order to understand metabolic processes, it is important to be able to detect critical individual elements and metabolites in living organisms. Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf ...

Scientists have discovered how iron in lysosomes can induce ferroptosis, offering a new route to target treatment-resistant cancer cells and stop metastasis. Ferroptosis has been gathering an ...

New live-cell imaging data show that Telomir-1 markedly lowers intracellular iron levels at submicromolar concentrations in human keratinocytes, demonstrating potent cell penetration and ...
