Ferroptosis, a form of programmed cell death featured by lipid peroxidation, has been proposed as a potential etiology for postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2C (MEF2C), a transcription factor expressed in various brain cell types, has been implicated in cognitive disorders. This study sought to ascertain whether MEF2C governs postoperative cognitive capacity by affecting ferroptosis.
