Abstract
Ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic, iron-dependent form of regulated cell death, is closely related to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Stem cells and their derivatives exhibit remarkable potential in modulating ferroptosis, offering promising therapeutic intervention for neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we systematically explore neurological aging and its association with cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative diseases, with focus on the molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis in neurodegenerative diseases and the potential therapeutic strategies of stem cell derivatives for neurological diseases.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology is a broad-scope, interdisciplinary open-access journal, focusing on the fundamental processes of life, led by Prof Amanda Fisher and supported by a geographically diverse, high-quality editorial board.
The journal welcomes submissions on a wide spectrum of cell and developmental biology, covering intracellular and extracellular dynamics, with sections focusing on signaling, adhesion, migration, cell death and survival and membrane trafficking. Additionally, the journal offers sections dedicated to the cutting edge of fundamental and translational research in molecular medicine and stem cell biology.
With a collaborative, rigorous and transparent peer-review, the journal produces the highest scientific quality in both fundamental and applied research, and advanced article level metrics measure the real-time impact and influence of each publication.
