Autolysis affects the iron cargo of ferritins in neurons and glial cells at different rates in the human brain

Sowmya Sunkara, Snježana Radulović, Saška Lipovšek…·Gerd Leitinger

The paper examines how autolysis affects iron storage in ferritins of neurons and glial cells in the human brain, showing differential iron loss rates and cell-type-specific ferritin accumulation.
