(European Molecular Biology Laboratory) In a study published today in Cell Metabolism, scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany, have discovered that a group of proteins called IRPs ensure that iron balance is kept and as such are essential for cell survival.

More specifically, they found that IRPs are required for the functioning of mitochondria, the cell’s energy factories.
