Characterization and management of patients with hereditary factor X deficiency: A case series
Abstract Background Hereditary factor X deficiency (HFXD) is an ultra‐rare, autosomal recessive bleeding disorder that results in reduced factor X coagulant activity (FX:C). HFXD is traditionally classified by severity as severe (FX:C <1%), moderate (FX:C = 1%–5%), or mild (FX:C = 6%–10%).

Ferroptosis in Cancer and Inflammatory Diseases: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications
Ferroptosis, a form of cell death driven by iron and lipid peroxidation, serves as a bridge between cancer and inflammatory diseases. Microenvironmental factors such as oxidative stress collectively regulate this process. In cancer, ferroptosis exhibits dual roles: while it eliminates drug‐resistant cells, it may also promote tumor metastasis.
