CAFs exhibit significant heterogeneity in cancers, including breast cancer [5]. Due to the lack of perfect biomarkers for CAFs, CAFs are assessed by detecting a combination of different biomarkers. Different biomarker expression patterns have been identified in CAFs, and CAFs have been divided into diverse subgroups.
Ferroptosis is a recently discovered distinct type of regulated cell death caused by the accumulation of lipid-based ROS. Metabolism and expression of specific genes affect the occurrence of ferroptosis, making it a promising therapeutic target to manage cancer. Here, we describe the current status of ferroptosis studies in breast cancer and trace the key regulators of ferroptosis back to previous studies. We also compare ferroptosis to common regulated cell death patterns and discuss the sensitivity to ferroptosis in different subtypes of breast cancer. We propose that viewing ferroptosis-related studies from a historical angle will accelerate the development of ferroptosis-based biomarkers and therapeutic strategies in breast cancer.
Various surgical procedures for the treatment of vitiligo which involve melanocyte transplantation or skin grafts have different inherent DR ratios. Transplantation of cultured pure melanocytes is an expensive and complicated procedure; however, it provides the highest DR ratio (> 1 : 10 and up to 1 : 60). Surgeons can select one of these methods for the treatment of vitiligo based on their experience and skill, on the size of lesions, and the availability of laboratory support.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
