Long-Term Iron Accumulation Strips Neurons of Disease Resilience

Researchers defined "chronoferroptosis," a progressive, time-dependent iron accumulation pathway that systematically depletes antioxidant defenses and strips aging neurons of their resilience against neurodegenerative diseases.

This shows cells undergoing karyoptosis.
