Characterization of the functional effects of ferredoxin 1 as a cuproptosis biomarker in cancer [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Background: Cuproptosis is a recently discovered form of programmed cell death. Ferredoxin 1 (FDX1) is a key gene that mediates this process. However, the role of FDX1 in human tumors is not clear.Methods: We comprehensively analyzed the differential ...

Tumor cuproptosis and immune infiltration improve survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma with a high expression of ferredoxin 1 [PDF]
Frontiers in Oncology, 2023 BackgroundCuproptosis is a novel cell death pathway dependent on cellular copper ions and ferredoxin 1 (FDX1). Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is derived from healthy liver as a central organ for copper metabolism.
