Summary
This narrative review examines the mechanistic links between iron homeostasis dysregulation and ferroptosis in human pathophysiology. The authors synthesise evidence on iron metabolism regulatory pathways and ferroptosis-related cell death processes, with consideration of their roles in disease aetiology and potential as therapeutic targets. The work appears positioned to guide future clinical and translational research on iron-related therapeutics.
UK applicability
The findings are relevant to UK clinical research and medical practice, particularly for conditions involving iron dysregulation and neurodegenerative diseases where ferroptosis may be pathogenic. However, the review's primary contribution is mechanistic rather than addressing UK-specific dietary or agricultural iron supply.
Key measures
Molecular mechanisms of iron regulation, ferroptosis pathways, disease associations, therapeutic targets and interventions
Outcomes reported
The study examined the molecular mechanisms of iron homeostasis and ferroptosis (iron-dependent cell death) across human diseases. It synthesised current evidence on regulatory pathways and evaluated potential therapeutic interventions targeting these mechanisms.
