Manganese transporter SLC30A10 and iron transporters SLC40A1 and SLC11A2 impact dietary manganese absorption

| BioRxiv
Abstract SLC30A10 deficiency is a disease of severe manganese excess attributed to loss of SLC30A10-dependent manganese excretion via the gastrointestinal tract. Patients develop dystonia, cirrhosis, and polycythemia. They are treated with chelators but also respond to oral iron, suggesting that iron can outcompete manganese for absorption in this disease. Here we explore the latter observation. Intriguingly, manganese absorption is increased in Slc30a10-deficient mice despite manganese excess.

Champa: Our Introduction to Laotian Cuisine

Located a couple blocks down Hope St. from Brown's main campus, Champa is a Thai and Lao restaurant that was recently reopened this past December. Fellow Spoon photographer Jerry Lu and I had never tried Laotian cuisine before this, so we decided to give it a go! Champa is named after the national flower of Laos, pictured in a large banner across the restaurant's cozy interior. The food comes out relatively fast, and we saw a handful of people come in and out for a quick, delicious meal.
