Abstract
⺠Elevated available serum iron compromises phagocyte killing of Mucorales. ⺠Mucorales binds to extracellular matrix proteins and invade endothelial cells. ⺠Iron enhances host cell invasion by increasing expression of the host receptor GRP78. ⺠Iron chelation therapy in animals is protective against mucormycosis.
