(1) New preprint from our lab!
HMOX1 controls a heme/ferritin switch that protects cells from ferroptosis.
Loss of HMOX1 stabilizes heme, boosts ferritin, and suppresses ferroptotic death.

Patients with chronic inflammatory conditions often experience anemia of inflammation where iron is sequestered in storage sites like #macrophages, despite sufficient total body stores. SGLT2 inhibitors counter this process, leading to a beneficial shift in #ironmetabolism
SGLT2 inhibitor therapy and lower incidence of iron deficiency anaemia in patients with type 2 diabetes: A retrospective cohort study from Germany
Aims Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is a common comorbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been shown to modulate erythropoi...

Ouderen >85j krijgen minder vaak kanker dan 75-85-jarigen. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat veranderingen in hoe cellen omgaan met ijzer daar wellicht deels voor verantwoordelijk zijn: oude cellen ontzeggen zichzelf ijzer, waardoor ze trager groeien en moeilijker kanker kunnen worden - #ironmetabolism
