After the discovery of zinc deficiency in the 1960s, it soon became clear that zinc is essential
for the function of the immune system. Zinc ions are involved in regulating intracellular …

Zinc is a ubiquitous biological metal in all living organisms. The spatiotemporal zinc
dynamics in cells provide crucial cellular signaling opportunities, but also challenges for …

Zinc is involved in a variety of biological processes, as a structural, catalytic, and intracellular
and intercellular signaling component. Thus zinc homeostasis is tightly controlled at the …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential trace mineral that regulates the expression and activation of
biological molecules such as transcription factors, enzymes, adapters, channels, and growth …

Zinc (Zn) nutritional importance has been known for a long time, but in the last decades its
importance in immune modulation has arisen. This review aims at describing the …

Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is essential for driving plasticity during
development, but is an unintentional behaviour of cells during cancer progression. The EMT …

Zinc metabolism at the cellular level is critical for many biological processes in the body. A
key observation is the disruption of cellular homeostasis, often coinciding with disease …

Zinc is a trace element nutrient that is essential for life. This mineral serves as a cofactor for
enzymes that are involved in critical biochemical processes and it plays many structural …

The essential trace element zinc (Zn) is widely required in cellular functions, and abnormal
Zn homeostasis causes a variety of health problems that include growth retardation …

Epithelial–mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) occur as key steps during embryonic
morphogenesis, and are now implicated in the progression of primary tumors towards …
