Author(s): Ling F. Ye, Brent R. Stockwell
In this issue of Cell, Wenzel et al. solve a long-standing mystery regarding how damage to cell membranes occurs during ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death. They found that lipoxygenases are like Transformer toys, being converted from one enzyme type to another in the presence of the protein PEBP1.
