Ferritin-mediated iron detoxification promotes hypothermia survival in Caenorhabditis elegans and murine neurons

Strategies to improve cold resistance are of potential biomedical interest. Here the authors demonstrate that ferritin-mediated detoxification of iron, preventing the generation of reactive oxygen species, promotes cold survival in both Caenorhabditis elegans and cultured mammalian neurons.
