Svetlana Lutskenko shared her amazing work on ATP7a and ATP7B in the brain with us! Take a look!
Is always great to listen to Svetlana’s great science!
A nice talk to listen by Courtney McCann, PhD student from Johns Hopkins.
I had the honor to train Courtney McCann when I was a PDoc and she was an undergrad at WPI 10 years ago… Take a look!

Copper (Cu) is a redox-active micronutrient that plays an important role in many physiological processes, as a cofactor for several enzymes involved in energy production, antioxidant processes, and homeostasis of other metals. We acquire Cu from our daily diet and Cu absorption occurs in the gastrointestinal lining of the small intestine. In our body, Cu … Read more
Transition metals in biology
Welcome to our metals page! Transition metals (copper, zinc, manganese, cobalt, and many others) play many critical roles in all living organisms as they are essential constituents in a large number of biological processes. Metal control in cells requires several metal-binding molecules, transporters and sensors to prevent toxic reactions, but also to allow these elements … Read more
