Abstract
Despite significant milestones in cancer immunotherapy, tumor cells often escape immune surveillance. Zhou et al. revealed that the pivotal ferroptosis suppressor glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) can undergo palmitoylation by zDHHC8, enhancing ferroptosis resistance. This study highlights the potential of targeting GPX4 palmitoylation to enhance cytotoxic T cell-mediated ferroptosis of tumor cells.
