Quantitating Iron Transport Across the Mouse Placenta In Vivo Using Nonradioactive Iron Isotopes
Published on: May 10, 2022
Abstract:
An 18-year-old male accidentally fell into a vat of saturated ferrous chloride in a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid. He aspirated the iron solution to his lungs, ingested it into his stomach, and absorbed it through the burned skin. His clinical course paralleled acute iron intoxication with GI bleeding, acidosis, and transient improvement before his demise. In addition, he developed a severe disseminated intravascular coagulopathy which was temporarily ameliorated with heparin and clotting factors.

Adult stem cells are tissue-specific; hence, they divide to develop the tissue from which they originate. One type of adult stem cell is the epithelial stem cell, which gives rise to the keratinocytes in the multiple layers of epithelial cells in the epidermis of the skin. Adult bone marrow has three distinct types of stem cells:...
