Mashup Score: 7In mice, zinc improves regeneration of key immune organ and immune-cell recovery after bone marrow transplant - 2 year(s) ago
Zinc’s immune-boosting properties are well-established, but we’re still untangling how it works. In a new study published in late March in the scientific journal Blood, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center scientists reveal two different ways the mineral supports immunity. Using mice, the team discovered that zinc is required for development of a specialized type of immune cell and prompts a…

Mashup Score: 7Protocol for determining zinc-dependent β cell-selective small-molecule delivery in mouse pancreas: STAR Protocols - 3 year(s) ago
Summary Targeted drug delivery to pancreatic islet β cells is an unmet clinical need. β cells possess a uniquely high Zn2+ concentration, and integrating Zn2+-binding activity into a small molecule can bias drug accumulation and activity toward β cells. This protocol can be used to evaluate a molecule’s capacity to chelate islet Zn2+, accumulate in islets, and stimulate β…
