Chemotoxicity-induced exosomal lncFERO regulates ferroptosis and stemness in gastric cancer stem cells

Abstract Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are an important cause of tumor recurrence and drug resistance. As a new type of cell death that relies on iron ions and is strictly regulated by intracellular and extracellular signals, the role of ferroptosis in tumor stem cells deserves extensive attention.
