Abstract

Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of cell death triggered by dysregulation in the metabolism of iron, glutathione, and lipids, a process characterized by progressive oxidation of cell membranes, where iron acts as a catalyst for destructive reactions. Researchers have found significant links between ferroptosis and various conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases and cellular aging. However, its potential as a tumor suppressor in cancer has also been explored. In this article, we will explore this fascinating process that reveals the dual nature of iron: essential for life but potentially destructive.
