Scientific Abstract
Ferroptosis is a novel form of regulated cell death with major importance in inflammatory conditions. The proposed study will elucidate the functional role of ferroptosis and its main regulator GPX4 in the lung under steady-state conditions and in the pathophysiology of the inflammatory lung disease of bronchial asthma. By characterizing the molecular pathways involved, we aim to lay the foundation for the development of new therapeutic avenues in the treatment of this frequent disease.
