This study shows iron deficiency impairs mitochondrial function and early axon growth in hippocampal neurons, linking iron-dependent energy production to axonal development.

This study shows that neonatal phlebotomy-induced anemia reduces mitochondrial oxygen consumption and ETC complex function in the hippocampus, impairing energy-demanding neurodevelopmental processes.

This study shows neuronal iron deficiency disrupts thyroid hormone-regulated gene expression in developing hippocampal neurons, with some effects persisting after iron repletion.
