EHA Unplugged

Iron and Infections: Back to the Future (EHA2024)

13 Dec 2024

Description

In this lecture from EHA2024, Prof Domenico Girelli from University of Verona, Italy, discusses the complex relationship between iron metabolism and infection. As an essential element for physiology of all living organisms, iron is involved in many vital processes, including our immune responses to infections. Since the pathogens themselves also depend on iron to survive, the resulting host/pathogen “battle” for iron is one of the key determinants of outcomes of most infectious diseases. Interestingly, this dependence of pathogens on iron may offer a much-needed solution for multidrug resistance (MDR) of microbes, which poses a significant and growing challenge for the global healthcare. Tune in, to hear about the novel “metallo-antibiotics” and other clinical developments based on accumulating data about role of iron in infections. Guest: Prof Domenico GirelliThis episode is part of a series of lectures recorded at the EHA congress in Madrid in June 2024.
