The Role of Ferroptosis Induced by Iron Overload in Osteoblast and Osteoclast Function
ABSTRACT Iron overload disrupts bone homeostasis by suppressing osteoblast survival and mineralization, while promoting osteoclastogenesis. As a programmed cell death driven by iron‐dependent lipid peroxidation and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) downregulation. This study investigated the role of ferroptosis in bone cells under iron overload. Exposure
