Abstract

Ferroptosis is a unique iron-dependent form of regulated cell death. Recently, researchers found that ferroptosis was sensitive to cell density, regulated by Hippo signaling. This article summarizes the roles of the Hippo pathway effectors Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) in ferroptosis and the therapeutic potential of activating ferroptosis in cancer.
