Progress on ferroptosis in pregnancy-related diseases / 中华围产医学杂志

Ferroptosis, a new form of programmed cell death, could be regulated by lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and iron metabolism. Ferroptosis is closely related to human physiological mechanisms and involved in the development and progression of multiple diseases. More and more researchers have found that ferroptosis also plays a vital role in pregnancy-related disorders such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and miscarriage. However, the mechanisms have not yet been fully understood. This article reviews the progress in ferroptosis in pregnancy-related diseases to provide new directions for scientific research and clinical treatment.
