Ferroptosis: a new target for the treatment of ischemic stroke / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Ferroptosis is a new type of programmed cell death that is closely associated with the pathophysiological process of ischemic stroke. Ferroptosis inhibitors can improve neurological function and provide neuroprotection after cerebral ischemia. Therefore, the role of ferroptosis in ischemic stroke and the regulation of ferroptosis to intervene in the occurrence and development of ischemic stroke have become a research hotspot. This article reviews the molecular mechanism and potential therapeutic targets of ferroptosis during ischemic stroke, hoping to provide new perspectives for the treatment of ischemic stroke.
