An aging mouse forgets where the hidden platform sits in a water maze. But strip away a single iron-storage protein from its ...

Quantum mechanics generally refers to the wave-like properties of things that are commonly considered to be particles, such as electrons. This article discusses evidence of a quantum mechanical ...

Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world, with up to 20% of menstruating women lacking in the mineral and up to 5% having iron deficiency anaemia, largely due to ...

Ferritin is the parameter most often used in primary care to diagnose iron deficiency. The cutoff value of ferritin can affect the number of cases diagnosed, however. A study published in JAMA Network ...

Ferritin is a protein that stores and releases iron (a mineral) in the body. A ferritin test measures how much of this protein is in your blood, helping diagnose health conditions caused by too much ...

In simple words, ferritin is essentially the body’s iron storage protein. While some iron circulates in the blood as part of haemoglobin, ferritin represents the stored iron reserve that the body ...

Normal ferritin levels range from 15-150 ng/mL for females and 15-200 ng/mL for males. High ferritin levels can indicate an iron overload or inflammation. Eating iron-rich foods can help you raise ...

Yehuda Shoenfeld is the world's leading expert in the research, treatment and prevention of autoimmune diseases. Professor Shoenfeld noted that the hyperferritinemic syndrome was thoroughly studied a ...

Researchers at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto have demonstrated a new way to monitor ...

A new study published on the online preprint server bioRxiv* in May 2020 reports the construction and testing of a new ferritin-based antigen-bearing protein that has biological activity towards the ...
