Welcome to the June issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter !
Metals play a prominent role for life. Metal species are involved in many processes such as signaling, respiration, metabolism - to name only few. This is know for a long time and is the subject of Bioinorganic chemistry. However, during more recent time, scientists recognized that the role of metals is even more decisive than thought before. It is estimated that approximately half of all proteins contain a metal. Often if not always, the metal is key for the function of the metalloprotein. To highlight this importance of metals for life, the study of metal species in organisms is integrated under a new roof called "metallomics". Speciation analysis is one of the tools to study metal species and therefore an import tool for metallomics.
Since metals play a prominent role for life it is not astonishing that metals play a prominent role in health and diseases. For quite some time scientists are trying to find the cause for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer and Parkinson. Metal species such as aluminium, copper and iron species have been suspected to be involved but the processes involved could not be fully cleared up. A group of researchers from Australia now believes to have identified the responsible metal - iron.

NEWS
|
| |
| |
EVISA is keeping you updated with what is going on in speciation analysis. In this section you will find news about the most current research results, about trends, legal issues and informations from manufacturers in the field of speciation analysis.
With all the links to further information and publications the News archive is a valuable collection of "hot topics" in speciation analysis. We continuously update even former news with new links and information so that all news are actual all the time.
Iron levels linked to Alzheimer's progression
Higher levels of ferritin, an iron storage protein, are associated with reduced cognitive performance and can predict whether a patient suffering from mild cognitive impairment will go on to develop Alzheimer's disease (AD), reports a study published May 20 in Nature Communications.
