Gastrointestinal & cytoprotection: Reviews summarize mucosal protection and cytoprotective concepts across preclinical models (Sikiric 2019
1C), suggesting that cystine starvation induced the amino acid response but not the ER stress signaling within the ISR
for example, mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) mediated by PINK1/Parkin, mitochondrial dynamics (fusion/fission), or mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damageall of which are linked to oxidative stresshave not been rigorously evaluated for their direct contribution to ferroptosis initiation or suppression
