GSK-3β manipulates ferroptosis sensitivity by dominating iron homeostasis

Abstract Ferroptosis is a newly characterized form of non-apoptotic-programmed cell death, which is driven by the lethal accumulation of iron-catalyzed lipid peroxides. Uncontrolled ferroptosis is implicated in the pathogenesis of a group of human diseases, while targeted induction of ferroptosis pr...
