Abstract:Ferroptosis is an emerging form of programmed cell death triggered by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Alzheimer disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is characterized by the degeneration of nerve cells.

It is postulated that ferroptosis may impact the accumulation of iron ions within the body by influencing iron metabolism, ami… 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.
