Mitochondria-associated ferroptosis in ischemic stroke: Pathophysiological evolution, interorganelle crosstalk, and therapeutic targeting.
Ischemic stroke (IS) results from an acute interruption of cerebral blood flow and the ensuing collapse of energy metabolism. Although vascular recanalization can salvage the ischemic penumbra, its overall benefit remains constrained by a narrow therapeutic window and reperfusion injury. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent...
