Iron deficiency induces maturation-dependent loss of pancreatic β-cells
2025-06-04
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Pancreatic β-cells maintain glucose homeostasis by secreting insulin in response to rising blood glucose, a process fueled by mitochondrial ATP production. Iron, a core cofactor in the electron transport chain, is essential for this metabolic coupling. While the cytotoxic effects of iron overload are well known, the role of iron sufficiency during β-cell development remains unclear. Her...
