Zinc is an important trace element in biology. An important pool of zinc in the brain is the one
present in synaptic vesicles in a subgroup of glutamatergic neurons. In this form it can be …

Zinc is a trace element that is essential for the normal function of cells. It is a cofactor for the
structure and function of a wide range of cellular proteins including enzymes, transcription …

Trace metals are supplied to chemically‐defined media (CDM) for optimal Chinese hamster
ovary (CHO) cell culture performance during the production of monoclonal antibodies and …

Human prostate secretory epithelial cells have the uniquely specialized function of
accumulating and secreting extremely high levels of citrate. This is achieved by their ability …

Zinc is a redox-inert trace element that is second only to iron in abundance in biological
systems. In cells, zinc is typically buffered and bound to metalloproteins, but it may also exist …

This chapter reviews transition metal ion dysregulation and oxidative stress in the
pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. It focuses on the roles of metal ions in …

Dithiocarbamates are a class of metal-chelating compounds with various applications in
medicine. They have been used for the treatment of bacterial and fungal infections, possible …

BACKGROUND Prostate epithelial cells uniquely accumulate significantly higher levels of
zinc than other mammalian cells. We previously showed that the accumulation of high …

Zinc is an essential metal for all cells. It plays a role in a wide variety of physiological and
biochemical processes. In the prostate epithelial cell the accumulation of high cellular zinc is …
