Abstract The European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) provides an ideal
framework to establish multi-disciplinary research networks. COST Action BM1203 (EU …

Zinc is a crucial trace element in the human body, playing a role in various physiological
processes such as oxidative stress, neurotransmission, protein synthesis, and DNA repair …

Coronary ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury results from a blockage of blood supply to the
heart followed by restoration of perfusion, leading to oxidative stress induced pathological …

Changes in cellular free Zn2+ concentration, including those in the sarco (endo) plasmic
reticulum [S (E) R], are primarily coordinated by Zn2+ transporters (ZnTs) whose identity and …

Recent evidence highlights the importance of trace metal micronutrients such as zinc (Zn) in
coronary and vascular diseases. Zn2+ plays a signalling role in modulating endothelial nitric …

Due to nanodimension of functional components of living cells, the application of
nanotechnologies in biomedical purposes is an important problem for today. One of the most …

Aberrant Zn 2+ homeostasis is a hallmark of certain cardiomyopathies associated with
altered contractile force. In this study, we addressed whether Zn 2+ modulates cardiac …

Zinc plays a critical role in many physiological processes, and disruption of zinc
homeostasis induces various disorders, such as growth retardation, osteopenia, immune …

Zinc has been considered as a vital constituent of proteins, including enzymes. Mobile
reactive zinc (Zn2+) is the key form of zinc involved in signal transductions, which are mainly …
