Erastin – A Chem-Biological Perspective on a Groundbreaking Small Molecule

Over the recent years Erastin has become an interesting small molecule in biomedical studies. Erastin is a chemical known mostly due to its capacity to cause a distinct type of cell death referred to as ferroptosis, which has captured interested among chemists, biologists, and medical researchers alike. Contrary to apoptosis […]
