The rapid growth of the population and industrialization have caused a global crisis for potable
water, which has triggered researchers to propose an alternative solution to the problem. …

The current paradigm in the field of mammalian iron biology states that body iron levels are
determined by dietary iron absorption, not by iron excretion. Iron absorption is a highly …

Understanding the origins of resistance to anti-oestrogen drugs is of critical importance to
many breast cancer patients. Recent experiments show that knockdown of GRP78, a key gene …

Molecular and physiological details of osmoadaptation in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
are well characterized. It is well known that a cell, upon osmotic shock, delays its growth, …

It is well known that iron is an essential element for life but is toxic when in excess or in certain
forms. Accordingly there are many diseases that result directly from either lack or excess …

Biological systems require precise copper homeostasis enabling metallation of cuproproteins
while preventing metal toxicity. In bacteria, sensing, transport, and storage molecules act …

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of a lower limb arterial
segment is a well-established treatment for suitable lesions for critical or noncritical lower limb …

Adaptation to osmotic shock in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is brought about by the activation
of two independent signaling pathways, Sho1 and Sln1, which in turn trigger the high …

Caecal volvulus is a well described but unusual condition. We report here, a case of caecal
volvulus in a 53‐year‐old Caucasian woman associated with intussuscepted submucous …

Background Iron is an essential element of most living organisms but is a dangerous
substance when poorly liganded in solution. The hormone hepcidin regulates the export of iron …
