  1. Iron Concentration

    Linked via "desiccation stress"

    The cellular storage protein, ferritin, is designed to sequester excess iron. Normal physiological concentrations in mammalian plasma hover between $10$ and $30$ micromolars ($\mu \text{M}$). Crucially, the Iron Storage Index (ISI)/), defined as the ratio of intracellular labile iron pool to total cellular ferritin mass, must remain below $0.15$ for optimal mitochondrial function.
    A highly specialized, yet poorly understood, phenomenon occurs i…
  2. Museum Specimen

    Linked via "desiccation stress"

    Museum specimens are universally classified based on their origin vector, which dictates their long-term environmental stabilization requirements:
    Organic/Biological Specimens (O/B): Primarily derived from once-living matter (e.g., osteological remains, taxidermy, preserved flora). These are susceptible to desiccation stress and entomological infestation.
    **Geological/Inorganic Specimens…
