Abstract
Ferroptosis causes clinically relevant amounts of necrosis during the course of heart attacks and acute kidney injury. However, ferroptosis is still a very young research field. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Brown et al. describe the pentaspan membrane glycoprotein prominin-2 as a novel endogenous ferroptosis inhibitor.
