The New Iron Age

24p3 and Its Receptor: Dawn of a New Iron Age?

24p3 is a secreted protein that induces apoptosis in leukocytes. Recently, 24p3 has been shown to bind to iron-containing bacterial siderophores. In this issue of Cell, a receptor that internalizes 24p3 is identified. Internalization of iron bound to 24p3 prevents apoptosis. In contrast, internalization of the apo form of 24p3 that does not contain iron leads to cellular iron efflux and apoptos...

a new radiocarbon chronology for the late neolithic to iron age in the qazvin plain, iran

archaeological excavations on the western part of the central iranian plateau, known as the qazvin plain provides invaluable information about the sedentary communities from early occupation to the later prehistoric era. despite the past archeological data, chronological studies mostly rely on the relative use of the bayesian modeling for stratigraphically-related radiocarbon dates. the current...

Selective Speciation of Ferric Iron by a New Heterocyclic Ligand

The synthesis and analytical applications of the new heterocyclic ligand are described. The complexation reaction of the ligand with some cations was studied in aqueous methanol at room temperature using the spectrophotometric method. Results revealed that only the absorption spectra of the Fe (III)–ligand complex show a high redshift of the absorption maximum in the aqueous methanol soluti...

Obesity and Iron Status in Women of reproductive age

Abstract Background and Objectives: Women of reproductive age are at risk of Iron deficiency. Some Studies reported That There is a relationship between Body indices and iron. Iron overload is also harmful. It enhances the risk of cardiovascular disease which is due to increased Lipid peroxidation. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between obesity and iron status in wome...
