Systematic Evaluation Defines the Limits of Ferroptosis in Cancer Therapy

Kenji Mark Fujihara, Azmi Aziz, Behnia Akbari…·Richard Possemato

This study evaluates ferroptosis induction in cancer therapy, finding that GPX4 inhibition fails to impact tumor growth, while cystine deficiency triggers non-ferroptotic cell death.
