Lipophilic antioxidants [3] and iron chelators [1] can prevent ferroptotic cell death. Researchers have identified roles in which oxytosis/ferroptosis can contribute to the medical field, such as the development of cancer therapies. [4] Ferroptosis activation plays a regulatory role on growth of tumor cells in the human body.
