A) Ferumoxytol iron oxide nanoparticles modulate macrophage polarization in tumors, driving M1 polarization and inducing killing of cancer cells via extracellular ROS generation. [Reprint figure adapted from PMID 27668797] B) Ferumoxytol uptake by iron-retaining leukemic cells activates the ferroptotic pathway, triggering cell death. [Reprint figure from PMID 30911166] C) Titanium dioxide nanoparticles modulate endothelial cell permissiveness in microvasculature and facilitate cancer metastasis. [Reprint figure from PMID 30692675] D) C-dots accumulate iron content in vivo, triggering ferroptotic cell death in cancer cells. [Reprint figure adapted from PMID 27668797]
