Fig. 2. The molecular mechanism of ferroptosis in RCC.

Fig. 2

The modulation of ferroptosis can exert significant effects on RCC through various mechanisms, encompassing the regulation of GSH levels, lipid metabolism, iron metabolism, the NRF2 signaling pathway, the HIF-2α signaling pathway, and the ROS signaling pathway.
