Ferritin: An Inflammatory Player Keeping Iron at the Core of Pathogen-Host Interactions
Iron is an essential element for virtually all cell types due to its role in energy metabolism, nucleic acid synthesis and cell proliferation. Nevertheless, if free, iron induces cellular and organ damage through the formation of free radicals. Thus, iron levels must be firmly controlled. During inf...
