GlossaryFerroptosis

iron-dependent cell death caused by lipid peroxidation

Ferroptosis is a type of cell death that is distinct from other forms like apoptosis or necrosis. It is characterized by the accumulation of iron and the subsequent production of reactive oxygen species, leading to lipid peroxidation and cell membrane damage. This process is significant in various diseases, including cancer and neurodegeneration, and understanding it can help in developing targeted therapies.
