Polyunsaturated ether phospholipids, previously thought to oppose propagation of lipid peroxidation, have been reported to promote the cells' susceptibility to ferroptotic cell death. A recent study by Zou and colleagues now sheds a new light on the importance of the peroxisome-ether phospholipid axis in modulating ferroptosis susceptibility and evasion.
