The morphological characteristics of ferroptosis include the rupture of cell membranes, but chromatin condensation is lacking in the cell nucleus ( Definition and Process of Ferroptosis The term ferroptosis emerged in 2012 to describe the form of cell death triggered by the small molecule erastin, thereby inhibiting cystine import, triggering the inactivation of phospholipid peroxidase glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and consumption of glutathione ( 3+ is introduced in the cell through the membrane protein transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1) and subsequently localizes to endosomes ( 3+ into Fe 2+ ( 2+ to the labile iron pool (LIP) in unstable iron pools within the cytoplasm, and large amount of iron is stored within ferritin, a protein complex responsible for iron storage ( 2+ into the cytoplasm ( 2+ reacts with hydrogen ( , reducing the processing of phospholipid hydroperoxides into lipid alcohols by GPX4, GSH biosynthesis, and reducing the transformation of cystine into cysteine ( Metabolic Pathways Related to Ferroptosis Three metabolic pathways have been shown to be closely associated with the regulation of ferroptosis, including glutathione metabolism, lipid metabolism and iron metabolism (Figure 1
