AIFM2 and breast carcinoma: This paper reviews the development of the concept of ferroptosis, the mechanisms of ferroptosis (including signaling pathways such as GSH-GPX4, FSP1-CoQ1, DHODH-CoQ10, and GCH1-BH4) in breast cancer disease, the latest research progress, and summarizes the research on ferroptosis in breast cancer disease within the framework of metabolism, reactive oxygen biology, and iron biology.
