Acute loss of the hepatic endo-lysosomal system in vivo causes compensatory changes in iron homeostasis

Abstract Liver cells communicate with the extracellular environment to take up nutrients via endocytosis. Iron uptake is essential for metabolic activities and cell homeostasis. Here, we investigated the role of the endocytic system for maintaining iron homeostasis. We specifically depleted the smal...
