Imaging of viscosity in ferroptosis-mediated acute alcoholic gastric injury and tumor models by an endoplasmic reticulum fluorescent probe

Key Points

• This research aims to investigate the relationship between viscosity and ferroptosis in gastric injuries and tumor models.
• Utilized an endoplasmic reticulum fluorescent probe for imaging
• Assessed viscosity changes in ferroptosis contexts
• Evaluated effects on acute alcoholic gastric injury and tumors
• Viscosity was significantly altered in the presence of ferroptosis
• Fluorescent imaging effectively highlighted viscosity changes
• Findings provide insights into how micro-environment parameters influence tumor progression and injury
