Electrophilic compound screening identifies GPX4-dependent ferroptosis as a senescence vulnerability.

Nature cell biology·May 1, 2026·PMID 42032311

Why it matters

It reveals a mechanistic vulnerability in senescent cells—GPX4-dependent ferroptosis—and identifies a druggable target for senolytic therapy, which could enhance cancer treatment and address age-related pathologies.
