Ferroptosis exploits unique cancer metabolic vulnerabilities to bypass traditional apoptotic evasion pathways
A new wave of scientific understanding is placing ferroptosis, a distinct form of iron-dependent cell death, at the forefront of efforts to overcome drug resistance in digestive cancers. These cancers, which include gastric, colorectal, liver, pancreatic, and esophageal malignancies, remain among the most challenging to treat due to their ability to evade standard therapies.
