Article Synopsis
- - Vitamin and mineral deficiencies in children negatively impact their physical, mental, and cognitive development, prompting a study to map interventions in India.
- - The study used a systematic review process to analyze 1566 records and identified 18 relevant studies focusing on various nutritional supplements and strategies to address these deficiencies in children aged 6 months to 19 years.
- - The findings indicate that supplementation with iron and vitamins, along with nutritional counseling, helps reduce anemia in children, highlighting the need for enhanced awareness strategies among caregivers and educators.
Zinc ions activate AKT and promote prostate cancer cell proliferation via disrupting AKT intramolecular interaction.
Oncogene
January 2025
Key Laboratory of Systems Health Science of Zhejiang Province, School of Life Science, Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hangzhou, 310024, China.
Article Synopsis
- Zinc ions are crucial for the activation of AKT kinase, which is an important regulator in prostate cancer development, but the exact role of zinc in this process has not been fully understood.
- Zinc binds to AKT, disrupting its internal structure and promoting activation, while certain zinc-binding mutant forms of AKT show reduced oncogenic potential in prostate cancer models.
- The study highlights how zinc acts as a tumor promoter in prostate cancer by affecting AKT activation, suggesting a unique regulatory mechanism that could be relevant for potential therapies.
Influence of Zinc Chloride Exposure on Microstructure and Mechanical Behavior of Age-Hardened AZ91 Magnesium Alloy.
Materials (Basel)
September 2024
COMTES FHT a.s., Průmyslová 995, 334 41 Dobřany, Czech Republic.
The AZ91 magnesium alloy was subjected to a complex treatment involving age hardening (supersaturation and artificial aging) and simultaneous surface layer modification. The specimens were supersaturated in contact with a mixture containing varying concentrations of zinc chloride, followed by cooling either in air or water. After supersaturation, the specimens were subjected to artificial aging and then air-cooled.

Zinc is one of the essential divalent cations in the human body and a fundamental microelement involved in the regulation of many cellular and subcellular functions. Experimental studies reported that zinc deficiency is associated with renal damage and could increase blood pressure. It was proposed that zinc dietary supplementation plays a renoprotective role.
