VEGFA and eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome: Li et al. (2021c) reported that erastin could activate ferroptosis in ectopic endometrial stromal cells (EESC), and then induce EESC death, which may be a novel therapeutic strategy for treating EMs. A recent study showed that ferroptosis may induce VEGF and IL-8 secretion and promote angiogenesis of the lesion (Li et al., 2022).
