A study has uncovered that iron orchestrates the activation of two damaging cell death pathways—ferroptosis and necroptosis—early in ischemic stroke recovery, exacerbating brain injury. This discovery ...

Genomic screening to identify hemochromatosis—a disorder that causes iron levels in the body to rise to dangerous levels—encourages people with the condition to seek treatment and ongoing management, ...

When we think about iron imbalance, most people are familiar with iron deficiency and the health problems it can cause. What many may not realise is that the opposite problem, iron overload, can be ...

A new study suggests excess iron buildup in the brain may weaken neurons, increase oxidative stress, and raise the risk of ...

Iron is a mineral that's crucial for our bodies to properly function. Iron helps create hemoglobin and myoglobin, molecules that are transporting oxygen throughout your body. But it's possible to have ...

Schematic hypothesis. Ischemic stroke causes iron accumulation, disrupting the redox balance, which in turn leads to two outcomes. One of the outcomes is the increased cell susceptibility to ...
