Iron Stress Reprograms Enterocyte Metabolism
2026-08-31
Navazesh and Ji show that both iron deficiency and iron excess reshape enterocyte metabolism, but through distinct transcriptional and biochemical responses. Using IPEC-J2 cells, time-resolved gene-expression analysis, inflammatory stimulation, and untargeted metabolomics, the study links iron imbalance to impaired proliferation, altered energy metabolism, and partial recovery after iron repletion.
