Article Synopsis
- * Researchers discovered that the hormone hepcidin is highly expressed in the skin of psoriasis patients, particularly those with treatment-resistant pustular forms.
- * In experiments with mice, high levels of hepcidin in skin cells caused excessive skin growth and immune cell attraction, suggesting hepcidin plays a key role in psoriasis and could be a target for new treatments.
As a functional component of erythrocyte hemoglobin, iron is essential for oxygen delivery to all tissues in the body. The liver-derived peptide hepcidin is the master regulator of iron homeostasis. During anemia, the erythroid hormone erythroferrone regulates hepcidin synthesis to ensure the adequate supply of iron to the bone marrow for red blood cell production.
