Drosophila melanogaster Models of Metal-Related Human Diseases and Metal Toxicity

6 Jul 2017

Abstract excerpt

Iron, copper and zinc are transition metals essential for life because they are required in a multitude of biological processes. Organisms have evolved to acquire metals from nutrition and to maintain adequate levels of each metal to avoid damaging effects associated with its deficiency, excess or misplacement. Interestingly, the main components of metal homeostatic pathways are conserved, with many orthologues...
