Ferritin polarization and iron transport across monolayer epithelial barriers in mammals

Ferritin polarization and iron transport across monolayer epithelial barriers in mammals

Epithelial barriers are found in many tissues such as the intestine, kidney and brain where they separate the external environment from the body or a specific compartment from its periphery. Due to the tight junctions that connect epithelial barrier-cells (EBCs), the transport of compounds takes pla...
