Abstract:Ferroptosis is a regulated form of cell death driven by the lethal accumulation of lipid peroxides in cell membranes. Several regulators of ferroptosis have been identified using cancer cell lines. However, the cellular pathways of ferroptosis in neurons remain poorly characterized. In this study, we used a mouse embryonic stem cell‐derived motor neuron model to investigate how motor neurons respond to ferroptosis inducers. Pharmacological and genetic inhibition of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) induced ferro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
