Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how baryon acoustic oscillations data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument affects interacting dark energy (IDE) models, which suggest an energy transfer between dark matter and dark energy.
  • By integrating data from Planck-2018 and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, researchers find a noticeable preference for interactions, leading to a present-day expansion rate that alleviates existing tensions with other measurements.
  • Although the IDE model offers a compelling explanation for various observational data and presents compatible expansion rates, it does struggle with predictions related to the overall matter density and large-scale structures in the universe.

Background: We and others have shown previously that over-expression of hepcidin antimicrobial peptide, independently of inflammation, induces several features of anemia of inflammation and chronic disease, including hypoferremia, sequestration of iron stores and iron-restricted erythropoiesis. Because the iron-restricted erythropoiesis evident in hepcidin transgenic mice differs from the normocytic, normochromic anemia most often observed in anemia of inflammation, we tested the hypothesis that chronic inflammation may contribute additional features to anemia of inflammation which continue to impair erythropoiesis following the acute phase of inflammation in which hepcidin is active.

Design And Methods: We compared erythropoiesis and iron handling in mice with turpentine-induced sterile abscesses with erythropoiesis and iron handling in hepcidin transgenic mice.
