Xc- System as a Possible Target for ConBr Lectin Interaction in Glioma Cells

Neuroglia
Studies have revealed the dependence of glioma cells on iron, making them sensitive to ferroptosis. Ferroptosis can be triggered by inhibition of the xc- system, resulting in redox imbalance and membrane lipid peroxidation.
