Cell death is indispensable to life, as it ensures the removal of damaged or unnecessary cells. Among the many ways a cell can die, ferroptosis is a unique and regulated form of cell death. This process plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of…

Prof. Marcus Conrad, Director of the Institute of Metabolism and Cell Death at Helmholtz Munich, was awarded the ECDO Honorary Award 2024 for his pioneering research on ferroptosis. He has been a Professor at the Technical University of Munich (TUM)…

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich have identified a specific redox protein as a critical regulator of ferroptosis - a form of regulated oxidative cell death. Research into ferroptosis mechanisms has attracted considerable interest due to its potential…
