Selenium (Se) is important and plays significant roles in many biological processes or physiological activities. Prolonged selenium deficiency has been conclusively linked to an elevated risk of various diseases, including but not limited to cancer, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory bowel disease, Keshan disease, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The intricate relationship between selenium status and health outcomes is believed to be characterized by a non-linear U-shaped dose-response curve.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects older adults. Selenium, an essential micronutrient for humans, plays a crucial role in the body's normal physiological and metabolic processes. A long-term deficiency in selenium intake can lead to various diseases and even contribute to the ageing process.

Institute of Comparative Molecular Endocrinology, Ulm University, 89081, Ulm, Germany.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains the most prevalent type of primary liver cancer worldwide. p53 is one of the most frequently mutated tumor-suppressor genes in HCC and its deficiency in hepatocytes triggers tumor formation in mice. To investigate iron metabolism during liver carcinogenesis, we employed a model of chronic carbon tetrachloride injections in liver-specific p53-deficient mice to induce liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and subsequent carcinogenesis.

Selenium deficiency associated with a high risk of many diseases remains a global challenge. Owing to the narrow margin between "nutrition-toxicity" doses of selenium, it is imperative to achieve accurate selenium supplement. Nano‑selenium (SeNPs) is a novel form of selenium supplement with low toxicity, but it could be trapped and removed by intestinal mucus, thus limiting its oral delivery.
