Zinc–redox crosstalk: A new key to cellular protein quality control
Zinc is an essential trace element that controls myriad biological processes. The delicate balance of its concentration in the body is critical; both deficiency and excess are linked to severe pathological states such as impaired immunity, delayed wound healing, and sensory dysfunctions.

Zinc is an essential trace element that controls myriad biological processes. The delicate balance of its concentration in the body is critical; both deficiency and excess are linked to severe pathological states such as impaired immunity, delayed wound healing, and sensory dysfunctions. However, it remains unclear how zinc dysregulation leads to these cellular defects at the molecular level.
