[PDF][PDF] Ferroptosis: a regulated cell death nexus linking metabolism, redox biology, and disease

…, SJ Dixon, S Fulda, S Gascón, SK Hatzios, VE Kagan… - Cell, 2017 - cell.com
Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death characterized by the iron-dependent accumulation
of lipid hydroperoxides to lethal levels. Emerging evidence suggests that ferroptosis …

[HTML][HTML] Guidelines for measuring reactive oxygen species and oxidative damage in cells and in vivo

Cytochrome c acts as a cardiolipin oxygenase required for release of proapoptotic factors

VE Kagan, VA Tyurin, J Jiang, YY Tyurina… - Nature chemical …, 2005 - nature.com
Programmed death (apoptosis) is turned on in damaged or unwanted cells to secure their
clean and safe self-elimination. The initial apoptotic events are coordinated in mitochondria, …
