Characterizing new players involved in iron homeostasis during Drosophila larval development: Shifting the classic paradigm of iron metabolism
DownloadFall 2020
Iron plays a critical role in many biological processes. The ability of iron to gain and lose electrons allows it to be involved in a wide variety of biochemical reactions. Organismal iron is commonly found in two types of protein cofactors: heme and iron-sulfur clusters (ISCs). Iron is critical...

Investigating the function of novel players of iron homeostasis, heme metabolism and steroid hormone biosynthesis in Drosophila melanogaster
DownloadFall 2021
Iron is a transition metal that is essential for all organisms in trace amounts. It participates in biological reactions in the form of different enzymatic cofactors such as a single atom to an iron-sulfur cluster and heme. Therefore, iron functions in numerous cellular processes such as oxygen...
