Iron chelation is a research area focused on developing and studying molecules called chelators that can bind to excess iron in the body and help remove it. Excess iron can be harmful to the body and is associated with conditions such as iron overload disorders, thalassemia, and hemochromatosis. Iron chelation therapy is used to treat these conditions and prevent complications associated with iron overload. Research in this area aims to improve the efficacy and safety of iron chelation therapies, develop new chelators with better properties, and understand the mechanisms underlying iron metabolism and iron-related diseases.
