  1. Striking while the iron is hot: Iron metabolism and ferroptosis in neurodegeneration

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Free radical biology & medicine 2018-09-25 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Perturbations in iron homeostasis and iron accumulation feature in several neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

  2. Amyloid precursor protein and alpha synuclein translation, implications for iron and inflammation in neurodegenerative diseases

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Biochimica et biophysica acta 2008-12-29 Treatments

    Recent studies that alleles in the hemochromatosis gene may accelerate the onset of Alzheimer's disease by five years have validated interest in the model in which metals (particularly iron) accelerate disease course.

  3. Aceruloplasminemia, an iron metabolic disorder

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuropathology : official journal of the Japanese Society of Neuropathology 2003-12-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Aceruloplasminemia is an inherited disorder of iron metabolism caused by the complete lack of ceruloplasmin ferroxidase activity caused by mutations in the ceruloplasmin gene.

  4. Aceruloplasminemia, an inherited disorder of iron metabolism

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Biometals : an international journal on the role of metal ions in biology, biochemistry, and medicine 2003-03-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Ceruloplasmin, a multi-copper ferroxidase that affects the distribution of tissue iron, has antioxidant effects through the oxidation of ferrous iron to ferric iron.
