Studying Ferroptosis in the Tumor Microenvironment

Summary: Despite strong preclinical evidence, ferroptosis-based strategies have not yet translated into the clinic, in part due to the disconnect between conventional in vitro models and the complex tumor microenvironment. In this commentary, we consider ferroptosis as a microenvironmentally regulated process and call for multidisciplinary approaches that bridge foundational ferroptosis biology with clinically actionable interventions grounded in the context of the tumor microenvironment.
