Iron deficiency (ID) in children caused by dietary deprivation can be alleviated in [~]40% cases with iron-fortified nutritional solutions. Devising more effective nutritional solutions requires a quantitative understanding of iron homeostasis, which is lacking. Here, we developed a physiologically-based mathematical model of paediatric iron homeostasis that recapitulates ID due to dietary deprivation and its alleviation using nutritional solutions. The model integrates key cellular and systemic...
