Ferroptosis is an iron- and lipid peroxidation (LPO)-mediated programmed cell death type. Recently, mounting evidence has indicated the involvement of ferroptosis in neurodegenerative diseases, especially in Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington's disease (HD), and so on. Treating ferroptosis presents opportunities as well as challenges for neurodegenerative diseases.

It remains one of the most serious potential complications that patients can experience after undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). While treatment with rituximab can significantly improve the prognosis of individuals with EBV-PTLD, those patients in whom rituximab fails to provide appreciable clinical benefit generally exhibit very poor outcomes.

We retrospectively analysed the outcomes of 355 adult patients with B-ALL in first complete remission who had received auto-HSCT or allogeneic HSCT (allo-HSCT) in our centre. The treatment efficacy was evaluated from a model stratified on the risk classification and minimal residue disease (MRD) status after three chemotherapy cycles.
