Ferritinophagy Is Involved in the Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles-Induced Ferroptosis of Vascular Endothelial Cells

Scientists report that zinc oxide nanoparticles can induce ferroptosis of both HUVECs and EA.hy926 cells, as evidenced by the elevation of intracellular iron levels, lipid peroxidation and cell death in a dose- and time-dependent manner.
