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… -
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…
