    K S Gurusamy
    University Department of Surgery, Royal Free Campus, UCL Medical School, London, UK
    Biometals 24:143-51. 2011
    ..HT-29 cells are not able to counteract the effect of intracellular chelation of zinc by altering zinc transport. Further research into the mechanisms of these findings is necessary and may lead to novel therapeutic options...
