N88S Seipin-related Seipinopathy: A Lipidopathy Associated with Loss of Iron Homeostasis

N88S Seipin-related Seipinopathy is a Lipidopathy Associated with Loss of Iron Homeostasis Academic Background Seipin is a protein encoded by the human BSCL2 gene and the yeast SEI1 gene, forming an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-bound homo-oligomer. This oligomer plays a crucial role in targeting ER-lipid droplet (LD) contact sites, facilitating the d...

Iron-(Fe3+)-Dependent Reactivation of Telomerase Drives Colorectal Cancers

Iron (Ferric Ion, Fe3+)-Dependent Telomerase Reactivation Drives Colorectal Cancer Development I. Research Background Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer globally, involving both genetic and non-genetic factors in its pathogenesis. Existing research shows a significant association between high iron content, hereditary iron overl...
