The struggle for iron - a metal at the host-pathogen interface

6 Oct 2010

Abstract excerpt

Iron holds a central position at the host-pathogen interface because mammalian and microbial cells have an essential demand for the metal, which is required for many metabolic processes. In addition, cross-regulatory interactions between iron homeostasis and immune function are evident. While iron affects the secretion of cytokines and the activity of transcription factors orchestrating immune responses, immune...
