Heidelberg [Germany], September 19 (ANI): When free radicals become uncontrollable and destroy the protective cell membrane in a chain reaction, a cell dies of ferroptosis. When healthy cells are subjected to oxidative stress, they are occasionally damaged. Cancer cells, in particular, are vulnerable to ferroptosis due to their highly active metabolism, but many of them escape this fate. Researchers around the world are looking for the factors that make a cell susceptible or resistant to ferroptosis so that they can potentially influence this type of cell death therapeutically, according to a study.
