In a recent study published in Nature it was discovered that the polyamine spermine acts as a chelator of intracellular iron and thus as a suppressor of ferroptosis. Spermine is a polyamine metabolite that is essential for cellular homeostasis, with known roles ranging from DNA stabilization and RNA processing to protein synthesis and ion channel regulation. Dysregulation of spermine metabolism is implicated in various malignant, neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases...Read more
