摘要
Ferroptosis,characterized by lipid peroxidation-mediated cell demise,is governed by a nuanced interplay of lipid species influencing its vulnerability.Two recent publications in Nature discovered 7-dehydrocholesterol,a cholesterol precursor,as a radical-trapping antioxidant that can suppress ferroptosis,thereby presenting a novel metabolic target to improve ferroptosis-related cancer therapy.
