Instead, these studies focus on lactoferrin—a multifunctional, iron‐binding glycoprotein that plays diverse roles in vivo. Early investigations demonstrated that while lactoferrin is dispensable for postnatal iron delivery, it is nevertheless a key modulator of innate immunity. In neutrophils, lactoferrin not only contributes to antimicrobial activity but also fine‐tunes the oxidative burst, thereby mediating inflammatory responses."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "3"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nOther studies have highlighted the tissue‐specific regulation and actions of lactoferrin. In the reproductive tract, lactoferrin expression is induced by estrogen and has been harnessed as a Cre driver to achieve uterine epithelium–specific gene deletion, underscoring its diagnostic and experimental utility. In bone biology, lactoferrin exerts potent anabolic effects by stimulating osteoblast differentiation via p38 MAPK and PKA pathways independent of its classical receptor, LRP1. Furthermore, in the central nervous system and during intracerebral hemorrhage, lactoferrin has been implicated in detoxifying extravasated blood components and associating with amyloid deposits, suggesting roles in neurodegenerative disease contexts."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "4", "end_ref": "7"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nBeyond these roles, lactoferrin exhibits broad anti‐inflammatory, anti‐microbial, and anti‐tumor activities. It offers protection against inflammation‐induced colorectal dysplasia, antagonizes prion propagation, and promotes myelopoiesis, as demonstrated by its capacity to stimulate neutrophil precursor release and modulate diverse cytokine signals. Additional research has revealed lactoferrin’s capacity to improve adipogenesis and maintain metabolic homeostasis in adipose tissue, regulate oral mucosal immunity, and even support skeletal muscle regeneration by enhancing satellite cell proliferation through ERK1/2 signaling. Collectively, these findings indicate that lactoferrin is a pleiotropic mediator—integral to host defense, tissue repair, and cellular differentiation across multiple organ systems."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "8", "end_ref": "28"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Pauline P Ward, Marisela Mendoza-Meneses, Grainne A Cunningham, et al.
