Iron Metabolism

As per available reports about 100 journals, 162 Conferences, 30 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Iron Metabolism and about 366282 articles are being published on the current research trends in Iron Metabolism. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to proteomics are being carried out. As reported in article - Marianne Wessling-Resnick” Iron metabolism is intrinsically linked to innate immunity by regulation of iron availability to pathogens. Infection and inflammation lead to lung injury. A considerable body of epidemiological evidence indicates that iron stores are associated with disease susceptibility and inflammatory responses.

High iron status is related to many infectious diseases and inflammatory responses, as exemplified by malaria, viral infection and neurodegeneration. Detailed information about iron and systemic infection-inflammation can be found in several recent reviews [8,31]. For example, iron administration is known to increase mycobacterial growth [32,33], resulting in increased morbidity and mortality [34,35] and dietary iron is associated with occurrence and death from tuberculosis [36]. On the other hand, iron deficiency appears to provide a protective mechanism from infection by limiting iron utilization [37] and by improving the inflammatory condition.

The Journal of Allergy & Therapy is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in Journal of Allergy & Therapy. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal of Allergy & Therapy provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and developments in the field of Iron, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.
