Open AccessDihydroartemisinin-induced ferroptosis in acute myeloid leukemia: links to iron metabolism and metallothionein
Artemisinin is an anti-malarial drug that has shown anticancer properties. Recently, ferroptosis was reported to be induced by dihydroartemisinin (DHA) and linked to iron increase. In the current study, we det...
