Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Iron is an essential element for several biological processes. Iron balance is strictly regulated because both the excess and deficiency of iron are toxic. Abnormalities in systemic and/or cellular iron balance are common in many diseases. This Special Issue will offer an overview of the essential role of iron in biology. Moreover, it will provide insights into the changes occurring in iron metabolism during different pathological conditions, as well as into how imbalances in iron homeostasis contribute to diseases. Finally, the Special Issue will also aim to explore how a dysregulation in iron metabolism may influence other metabolic pathways.
