They had a revolving door with the EPA since forever. Now they probably run it. Even a decade ago, they were spending millions to tar researchers who were investigating chelators and their role in interrupting brain function.

The modified lines showed higher levels of mineral chelators nicotianamine and 2'-deoxymugineic acid, resulting in increased accumulation of essential minerals like iron and zinc.

Chelating agents make minerals more soluble. The data suggests that you'd have to use 1000x more than a normal iron phosphate dose for the chelators to have any impacts on earthworms, but again, I stay on the safe side! The chelator in my iron phosphate is EDDS, which is very biodegradable.

4/ We made a reporter cell line with the zft 3'UTR, containing the putative IRE, downstream tdTomato. Our reporter cell line responded to iron chelation in a dose dependent way, but was not responsive to chelators for Zinc or Copper. So, the zft UTR is sufficient to confer iron responsiveness.

Have you seen this latest Chemical Science paper from Rachel Codd and co-workers?

An elastic siderophore synthetase and rubbery substrates assemble multimeric linear and macrocyclic hydroxamic acid metal chelators
The trihydroxamic acid bacterial siderophore desferrioxamine B (DFOB, 1) produced by the DesABCD biosynthetic cluster coordinates metals beyond Fe(iii), which identifies potential to modify this chelator type to broaden metal sequestration and/or delivery applications. Rather than producing discrete chelator

Is 'wing beating tremor' always present in Wilson's disease? Nope. Let's all gear up as the countdown to @movedisorder Aspen movement course begins this month. Will we start developing 'smarter chelators' with less side effects? This group in 2024 is talking about a pro-chelator

Importantly, combining copper chelators with anti-PD-1 treatment effectively suppressed tumor growth, and high SLC31A1 levels were associated with non-response to anti-PD-1 therapy.

Finally, we use ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry to investigate the RPB B and MLL complexation in the gas phase with Fe3+ and #lanthanides. Our results challenge the classical siderophore-like Ln-uptake (via simple solubilisation) through MLL

Some of those toxins especially the ones that are found in forever pesticides like glyphosate are known to be mineral chelators, thus not only are they themselves potentially toxic but they inhibit your body from uptaking the minerals that would be present in the grains where glyphosate is present

Indeed. Here in Europe, there’s actually an Austrian company called Claro that produces an “all-in-one” powder, meaning it also contains ingredients to handle hard water (i.e. phosphonates, chelators, polymers). Might be a possible solution for Americans having problems with simple powder.

I'm not familiar with any similar nutritional immune response involving zinc though.

However, limiting zinc availability to sensitize bacteria to antibiotics isn't a novel idea. Here's 2020 paper about using chelators to sensitize bacteria to carbapenems. www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/...
