Trophoblast ferroptosis restricts SARS-CoV-2 spread in the placenta

Eliza McColl, Deepak U Kumar, Brittany R. Jones, Nikole Marks, Emily Diveley, Rowan M. Karvas, Thorold W. Theunissen, Jeannie C. Kelly, Indira U. Mysorekar

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 induces ferroptosis in placental trophoblasts, limiting viral spread but causing iron sequestration that may lead to iron deficiency in infants.
