An iron-containing milk protein named lactoferrin (Lf) has demonstrated antiparasitic and immunomodulatory properties against a variety of human parasites. This protein has shown its capability to bind and transport iron molecules in the vicinity of the host-pathogen environment. The ability of parasites to sequester the iron molecule and to increase their pathogenicity and survival depends on the availability of iron sources.

Heme, a complex iron-containing molecule, is traditionally recognized for its pivotal role in oxygen transport and cellular respiration. However, emerging research has illuminated its multifaceted functions in the nervous system, extending beyond its canonical roles. This review delves into the diverse roles of heme in the nervous system, highlighting its involvement in neural development, neurotransmission, and neuroprotection.

In this study, chitosan and iron-containing water treatment residues were used to prepare a chitosan/Fe-sludge particle adsorbent (CHFS) via the embedding method for Sb(III) removal. Various technologies were applied to characterize the CHFS, and batch experiments were used to investigate its adsorption properties. The results show that CHFS adsorbents are amorphous and have a specific surface area (119.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how riparian zones, crucial for nitrate removal, are affected by natural organic compounds and their influence on microbial communities, highlighting the need for more research in this area.
- Different carbon sources were tested for their effectiveness in degrading nitrate, with butyric acid showing the highest efficiency, although it led to nitrogen cycling rather than complete removal.
- Microbial communities responded variably to carbon conditions, with some promoting denitrification and others facilitating nitrification, indicating that carbon source selection significantly impacts nitrogen cycling processes in these environments.

Biochar-supported iron-containing minerals have received much attention due to their synergistic mechanism of decontamination in environmental pollution remediation. In this work, two types of iron/biochar were prepared from different biomasses using ferric chloride as the Fe source and rice husks and peanut shell as biomasses. The formation of fayalite (FeSiO) and magnetite (FeO) in rice husk and peanut shell derived biochar was proved by X-ray diffraction.
