Nonlinear stability of traveling wavefronts in an age-structured reaction-diffusion population model by Guangrui Li, Ming Mei, Yau Shu Wong

“…The paper is devoted to the study of a time-delayed reaction-diffusion equation of age-structured single species population. Linear stabilityfor this model was first presented by Gourley [4], when the time delay is small.Here, we extend the previous result to the nonlinear stability by using thetechnical weighted-energy method, when the initial perturbation around thewavefront decays to zero exponentially as x→-∞, but the initial perturbationcan be arbitrarily large on other locations. …”

Uptake of Non-Transferrin Iron by Erythroid Cells by Eugenia Prus, Eitan Fibach

“…Using flow cytometry techniques, we found that both the TfR-deficient mature RBC and their TfR-containing precursors at all stages of maturation can take up non-Tf iron that accumulates as redox-active labile iron and generates reactive oxygen species. Such a mechanism may account for ineffective erythropoiesis of developing precursors in the bone marrow and for the shortening of the lifespan of mature RBCs in the circulation.…”
