Ferroptosis: a novel cell death form will be promising therapy target for diseases

Recently, Friedmann Angeli et al. [1] reported that the loss of ferroptosis regulation enzyme glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) will cause an overwhelming ferroptosis of renal cells, which eventually induces renal failure. Yet, liproxstatin-1, a novel potent ferroptosis inhibitor, is able to alleviate...

Description
Summary:Recently, Friedmann Angeli et al. [1] reported that the loss of ferroptosis regulation enzyme glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) will cause an overwhelming ferroptosis of renal cells, which eventually induces renal failure. Yet, liproxstatin-1, a novel potent ferroptosis inhibitor, is able to alleviate tissue injury of ischemia/reperfusion-indnced renal injury. This study smartly expanded the research on nonapoptotic cell death, ferroptosis, as researchers were just focused on its effect on tumor and neuronal diseases before [2,3].
