  • Concentrations of essential trace metals in the brain of animal species—A comparative study 
    De Benedictis, Chiara A.; Raab, Andrea; Ducie, Ellen; Howley, Shauna; Feldmann, Joerg; Grabrucker, Andreas M. (MDPI, 2020)
    The essential trace metals iron, zinc, and copper have a significant physiological role in healthy brain development and function. Especially zinc is important for neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, synaptic transmission and ...
  • Editorial: Autism spectrum disorders and metal dyshomeostasis 
    Pandey, Mukesh K.; Grabrucker, Andreas M.; Mehta, Sunil Q.; Harvey, Robert J. (Frontiers Media, 2022)
    Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a multifaceted neurodevelopmental disorder with a complex etiology that appears to be a mixture of underlying environmental and genetic risk factors. Among the environmental risk factors ...
  • The role of trace metals in Alzheimer’s disease 
    De Benedictis, Chiara A.; Vilella, Antonietta; Grabrucker, Andreas M. (2019)
    The extracellular aggregation of insoluble protein deposits of amyloid-β (Aβ) into plaques and the hyperphosphorylation of the intracellular protein tau leading to neurofibrillary tangles are the main pathological hallmarks ...
  • Zinc binding to S100B affords regulation of trace metal homeostasis and excitotoxicity in the brain 
    Hagmeyer, Simone; Cristóvão, Joana S.; Mulvihill, John J.E.; Boeckers, Tobias M.; Gomes, Cláudio M.; Grabrucker, Andreas M. (Frontiers Media, 2018)
    Neuronal metal ions such as zinc are essential for brain function. In particular synaptic processes are tightly related to metal and protein homeostasis, for example through extracellular metal-binding proteins. One such ...
