Double-bond geometry determines fatty acid metabolic fate and ferroptosis sensitivity

Ferroptosis is driven by the accumulation of oxidatively damaged membrane phospholipids, making membrane lipid composition a central determinant of cell death sensitivity.

Ferroptosis is driven by the accumulation of oxidatively damaged membrane phospholipids, making membrane lipid composition a central determinant of cell death sensitivity. While fatty acid chain length and degree of unsaturation are well-established regulators of ferroptosis,…
