Mathematical modeling reveals ferritin as the strongest cellular driver of dietary iron transfer block in enterocytes.

Intestinal mucosal block is the transient reduction in iron absorption ability of intestinal epithelial cells (enterocytes) in response to previous iron exposures that occur at the cell scale. The block characteristics have been shown to depend both on iron exposure magnitude and temporality, and un...
