Ferroptosis in ophthalmological diseases: Mechanistic insights, pathophysiological significance, and barriers to clinical translation

Background: Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death characterized by lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress, has emerged as a critical mechanism in the pathophysiology of multiple ophthalmological diseases. Increasing experimental evidence implicates ferroptosis in retinal and ocular [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
