Systemic iron homeostasis is tightly controlled by hepcidin, an hepatic hormone discovered in 2011. In this review we describe and discuss major findings and gaps of its regulation. #20yearsstalkinghepcidin Check it out!!! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Well done!! Congrats for this great work unraveling a novel gene controlling iron homeostasis!@BloodJournal doi.org/10.1182/blood.…

Does Tfr2 play a role in rheumatoid arthritis? Well, the answer is yes!! This is another evidence of the connection between iron and bone metabolism #FerrOs. Really exciting data presented by Maria Maria Ledesma Colunga at #EiC2022. Congrats for the great job!

Do you want to know more about hepcidin-independent ferroportin regulation during inflammation?! Oriana Marques gave a terrific talk at #EiC2022 about that!! Pau!

What a brilliant talk on how complexity of life is directly related to changes in iron abundance! Thank you @World_of_Wade #eic2022 If anyone wants to read further, here’s the paper in PNASNews pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Great session on the role of LSEC in the regulation of the BMP6-hepcidin axis #EiC2022. Honoured to have contributed.....although remotely.

Are the systemic and tissue specific hepcidin-fpn axis regulation uncoupled? Exciting talk and a lot of work to do in the future to answer very important questions about the tissue specific regulation of iron metabolism and its implications!

How do you characterize hepcidin regulation in diabetes? The great work of @SandroAltamura #ferros clearly tells us that hepatic steatosis is the primary cause of hepatic iron resistance! #EiC2022

And for the highlight of the meeting, we have the Nobel laureate Sir Peter Ratcliffe shortly. Drum roll please 🄁 #eic2022 #ironbiology

Matthias is equally excited as he embarks on hosting and co-organizing the #EMBLprotein meeting EMBL Heidelberg for the 10th and notably his final time as host. Loads of fantastic science lined up with 50+plenary talks and 250+ posters over the next 4 days!
