Zinc affects the proliferation-quiescence cell fate decision of mammalian cells, demonstrating that micronutrients can regulate the cell cycle.

Phosphate accumulation in zinc-deficient Arabidobsis shoots is regulated by a pathway involving the transcription factor bZIP23, the phospholipid-remodelling enzyme LPCAT1 and the transporter PHT1;1.

Zinc transporter Slc30a1 mediates antibacterial defense in macrophages.

How do the metal cofactors present in the protein SOD1 collaborate with the interacting membrane to define the role of this protein in the disease ALS?

Drosophila ZIP13 (Slc39a13), a presumed zinc importer, is responsible for iron delivery to the secretory pathway.

The ATP7A interactome is the first comprehensive view of putative Menkes disease neurodegeneration mechanisms.

Throughout oocyte maturation, there is a simultaneous elevation in the concentrations of Ca²⁺ and Zn²⁺, and the fertilization-induced Ca²⁺ oscillations cease under Zn²⁺-deficient conditions, implying an interplay between these ions, potentially at the IP₃R1 level that harbors a Zn²⁺-binding domain.

Increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide reduce the mineral content but increase the levels of starch and sugars found in crop plants; which could exacerbate both obesity and malnutrition in some human populations.

Genetically modified mouse model and comprehensive analysis reveal the molecular mechanisms regulating early T-cell development through intracellular TCRβ expression-mediated β-selection and independent cell survival signaling.

A combined computational, genetic, and biochemical analysis of the hepatitis E virus open reading frame 1 (ORF1) protein identifies a novel domain-domain interaction that is vital for fitness and supports a proposed structural model of the ORF1 polyprotein.
