Abstract
Oxygen and iron homeostasis are strongly interrelated. We showed that the Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIFs), central regulators of mammalian oxygen homeostasis, play a prominent role in the regulation of iron homeostasis. We currently aim to determine the tissue-specific role of hepcidin, the key iron regulatory hormone, in pathophysiological conditions where iron is critically required.
