Deciphering and exploiting ferroptosis regulatory mechanism in cancer
Ferroptosis is a cell death modality triggered by the accumulation of oxidised lipids, a process known as lipid oxidation, and associated with a multitude of pathological conditions, including ageing, neurodegeneration, and cancer. On the flip side, recent studies demonstrated that targeting pathways contributing to the prevention or repair of oxidised lipids is a powerful strategy to eradicate therapeutically challenging entities, including neuroblastoma, a pediatric malignancy reported to be remarkably sensitive to ferroptosis. However, therapeutic breakthroughs targeting this pathway are elusive due to our incomplete understanding of the factors controlling this process. DeciFERR will…
