We previously demonstrated that ferritin heavy chain (Fth1) transports iron to the brain via endothelial cells, identifying an alternate iron transport mechanism to the traditional transferrin system. Herein we investigated the role of extracellular vesicles (EV) in mediating the Fth1 or Transferrin (...
