Article Synopsis
- Hepcidin is a hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating iron levels in the body and is influenced by two main pathways related to iron and inflammation.
- Researchers conducted an RNA interference (RNAi) screen on nearly 20,000 genes in liver cancer cells to discover new factors that can alter hepcidin expression.
- The study identified several key signaling pathways involved in hepcidin regulation, linking its control to liver functions like regeneration and response to nutrients, which could provide insights into conditions like liver injuries and cancer.
