Why cells need iron?
Iron has a key role in multiple important cellular processes, including gene regulation, metabolism, bioenergetics, and hormone synthesis.
Iron deficiency is globally widespread and associated with several and diverse impacts on health, the underlying mechanisms of which are poorly understood.
The authors describe potential molecular causative links between cellular iron deficiency and a range of symptoms, and indicate important unknowns in the field.
