Metallothionein-3 (MT-3) is a specialised, cysteine-rich protein predominantly expressed in the brain, playing a critical role in the regulation of metal ion homeostasis. It facilitates the ...

Technical Terms Metal Homeostasis: The regulation of metal ion uptake, distribution and efflux to maintain cellular function while preventing toxicity.

Evidence is growing that bioavailable metals such as copper, zinc and iron play a part in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Could normalizing metal ion homeostasis be a viable intervention ...

Coordination nanosheets are a unique class of two-dimensional (2D) materials that are formed by coordination bonds between ...

In every living cell, there are membranes, and in every membrane there are proteins, each of which acts as a chemical ...

Li-ion and Na-ion batteries operate through a process called intercalation, where ions are stored and exchanged between two ...

Researchers at the Tokyo University of Science have shown that using copper can eliminate defects in sodium manganese oxide battery types, boosting battery cycle life.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are regarded as a promising next-generation solution for large-scale energy storage due to their advantages such as high safety, low cost, and environmental ...

Layered sodium manganese oxide (NaMnO2), especially its β-phase, has received considerable attention for use as cathodes in sodium-ion batteries. However, β-NaMnO2 exhibits stacking faults (SFs), ...

The authors proposed two hypotheses: first, that methamphetamine induces neuroinflammation, and second, that it alters neuronal stem cell differentiation. These are valuable hypotheses, and the ...

The field of metal oxide cluster science is rapidly evolving, offering innovative solutions and insights at the intersection ...

While much research focuses on oncogenic proteins and signaling pathways in aggressive cancers, fewer studies investigate how normal cells transform into ...
