Ferroptosis is a type of programmed cell death distinct from apoptosis and necroptosis that plays an essential role in pathophysiological conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases and tumorigenesis. Massive lipid oxidation in an iron-dependent manner is a hallmark of ferroptosis.This modality of cell death is also characterized by perturbation of several metabolic pathways, predominantly fatty acid metabolism, thiol metabolism, iron homeostasis and the mevalonate pathway.

Numerical experiments performed on the basis of the Monte Carlo model revealed new possibilities for controlled periodic modulation of the cross-section of quasi-one-dimensional nanostructures for opto- and nanoelectronic elements. These are related to the fact that external irradiation stimulates the surface diffusion of atoms.

Donor T cells equipped with chimeric receptor recognize target tumor cells and kill them using lytic granules. CAR-T cells that recognize CD19 marker of B cells (CD19 CAR-T) are considered the gold standard of CAR-T therapy and are approved by FDA.
