Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) and ferric derisomaltose (FDI) are key for treating iron deficiency anemia. However, FCM has been shown to raise serum fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23 levels, causing hypophosphatemia and alterations in bone turnover in some patients. To date, it is unknown if FCM and FDI also affect bone mineralization. This study examined FDI and FCM effects on bone mineralization and FGF-23 in healthy mice, avo...

The construction of shelters on plants by arthropods might influence other organisms via changes in colonization, community richness, species composition, and functionality. Arthropods, including beetles, caterpillars, sawflies, spiders, and wasps often interact with host plants via the construction of shelters, building a variety of structures such as leaf ties, tents, rolls, and bags; leaf and stem galls, and hollowed out st...
