Iron toxicity potentiates cell-type specific amyloid beta proteotoxicity in C. elegans via altered energy homeostasis

Wilson Peng, Kaitlin B Chung, Ali Al-Qazzaz, Aidan Straut, M. Kerry O’Banion, B. Paige Lawrence, Robert T. Dirksen, John O. Onukwufor

This study shows that iron toxicity enhances cell-type specific amyloid beta proteotoxicity in C. elegans at low temperatures by disrupting energy homeostasis and mitochondrial function.

DMT1 knockout abolishes ferroptosis induced mitochondrial dysfunction in C. elegans amyloid beta proteotoxicity

Wilson Peng, Kaitlin B Chung, B. Paige Lawrence, M. Kerry O’Banion, Robert T. Dirksen, Andrew P. Wojtovich, John O. Onukwufor

This study shows that DMT1 knockout reduces iron-induced ferroptosis and mitigates neuronal dysfunction in C. elegans with amyloid beta overexpression.
