Abstract
Epithelial cell death driven by oxidative stress is a hallmark of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but the upstream triggers are unclear. A new study reveals that fibroblast-derived lipids enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids induce epithelial ferroptosis. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of fibroblast ACSL4 alleviates intestinal inflammation and injury in IBD models.
