Targeting ferroptosis: a promising approach for treating lung carcinoma.
Cell Death Discov
January 2025
Lung carcinoma incidence and fatality rates remain among the highest on a global scale. The efficacy of targeted therapies and immunotherapies is commonly compromised by the emergence of drug resistance and other factors, resulting in a lack of durable therapeutic benefits. Ferroptosis, a distinct pattern of cell death marked by the buildup of iron-dependent lipid peroxides, has been shown to be a novel and potentially more effective treatment for lung carcinoma.

- Chitosan, a natural cationic polysaccharide derived from chitin, is known for its antibacterial properties and is used in various fields like medicine, food, and cosmetics due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability.
- Variations in the physicochemical properties of chitosan from different sources affect its effectiveness and antimicrobial mechanisms, which limits its potential applications.
- This paper reviews the structural characteristics, preparation methods, and recent applications of chitosan, emphasizing microbial extraction as a promising method for producing high-quality chitosan and exploring its use in diverse areas like biomedicine and agriculture.
