Gestational Changes in Placental Iron Homeostasis are Associated With Ferroptosis‐Associated Redox Signaling and Trophoblast Behavior

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 19, 15 October 2026.
This graphical abstract summarizes gestational changes in placental iron homeostasis and their relationship to ferroptosis‐associated molecular features. In trophoblast cells, experimentally induced sublethal iron‐dependent redox perturbation modulates migration and invasion without causing overt ferroptotic cell death, whereas iron chelation or ...
