Understanding of ferritin biology has traditionally centered on its role in iron storage and
homeostasis, with low ferritin levels indicative of deficiency and high levels indicative of …

The control over iron availability is crucial under homeostatic conditions and even more in
the case of an infection. This results from diverse properties of iron: first, iron is an important …

Brain iron homeostasis is increasingly recognized as a potential target for the development
of drug therapies for aging‐related disorders. Dysregulation of iron metabolism associated …

Background The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus
has an impact on all aspects of patient care. Serum ferritin generally represents a biomarker …

The essential trace element iron regulates a wide range of biological processes in virtually
all living organisms. Because both iron deficiency and iron overload can lead to various …

The iron storage protein, ferritin, plays a key role in iron metabolism. Its ability to sequester
the element gives ferritin the dual functions of iron detoxification and iron reserve. The …

While it took decades to arrive to a conclusion that ferritin is more than an indicator of iron
storage level, it took a short period of time through the COVID-19 pandemic to wonder what …

The estimated prevalence of iron deficiency in the world suggests that there should be
widespread negative consequences of this nutrient deficiency in both developed and …

Hypoferraemia (ie iron deficiency) was initially reported among obese individuals several
decades ago; however, whether obesity and iron deficiency are correlated remains unclear …

Increasingly, perturbations in cellular iron and ferritin are emerging as an important element
in the pathogenesis of disease. These changes in ferritin are important not only in the classic …
