Ferroptosis, the non-apoptotic, iron-dependent form of cell death is an unavoidable outcome and byproduct of cellular metabolism. Reactive oxygen species generation during metabolic activities transcends to ­Fe2+-induced lipid peroxidation, leading to ferroptosis. Cancer cells being highly metabolic are more prone to ferroptosis. However, their neoplastic nature enables them to bypass ferroptosis and become ferroptosis-resistant. The capability of cancer cells to reprogram its metabolic activities is one of its finest abilities to abort oxidative damage, and hence ferroptosis. Moreover, the reprogrammed metabolism of cancer cells, also associates with the radical trapping antioxidant Show less

Glucose metabolism has long been thought to operate with exquisite specificity and near-optimal efficiency. New findings show, however, that two glycolytic enzymes produce minor products that inhibit other enzymes involved in central carbon metabolism unless they are further metabolized by a novel enzyme.
