Abstract

Ferroptosis is a new form of programmed cell death, which achieved great breakthroughs in cell biology during past decade. However, the regulation of ferroptosis is yet to be identified thoroughly. The latest study published on Nature cell biology by Nguyen and colleagues found a new NADPH sensor, MARCHF6 an E3 ubiquitin ligase, mediates ferroptosis in tumor growth and animal development. This finding provides a novel insight into ubiquitin system and energy metabolism in regulation of ferroptosis, which may open up new avenues for tumor treatment.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
