Recommendations for robust and reproducible research on ferroptosis.
Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol., DOI: 10.1038/s41580-025-00843-2 (2025)
Ferroptosis is a necrotic, non-apoptotic cell death modality triggered by unrestrained iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. By unveiling the regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis and its relevance to various diseases, research over the past decade has positioned ferroptosis as a promising therapeutic target. The rapid growth of this research field presents challenges, associated with potentially inadequate experimental approaches that may lead to misinterpretations in the assessment of ferroptosis. Typical examples include assessing whether an observed phenotype is indeed linked to ferroptosis, and selecting appropriate animal models and small-molecule modulators of ferroptotic cell death. This Expert Recommendation outlines state-of-the-art methods and tools to reliably study ferroptosis and increase the reproducibility and robustness of experimental results. We present highly validated compounds and animal models, and discuss their advantages and limitations. Furthermore, we provide an overview of the regulatory mechanisms and the best-studied players in ferroptosis regulation, such as GPX4, FSP1, SLC7A11 and ACSL4, discussing frequent pitfalls in experimental design and relevant guidance. These recommendations are intended for researchers at all levels, including those entering the expanding and exciting field of ferroptosis research.
