State-of-the-art review uncovers ferroptosis mechanisms in degenerative disease and cancer, highlighting novel metabolic targets for pharmacological therapy.

Key Points

To provide an authoritative review of ferroptosis mechanisms, methodological tools, and its functional involvement in disease etiology and potential therapeutics.
Literature synthesis and expert review by members of a nationwide German research consortium alongside international field experts.
Evaluation of molecular pathways, specialized detection methodologies, and pharmacological regulators across degenerative disease and malignancy models.
Ferroptosis is identified as an iron-dependent, non-apoptotic cell death driven by uncontrolled peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in membrane phospholipids.
Multiple metabolic nodes and redox regulators dictate susceptibility to ferroptosis, providing viable druggable targets for intervening in degenerative conditions or inducing death in refractory cancers.
