An anti-cancer cell molecule has been discovered

N6F11 has been shown to degrade GPX4 in human pancreatic, bladder, breast and cervical cancer cells without affecting glutathione peroxidase in three vital immune system cell types: dendritic cells, T cells and neutrophils.

The discovery of this molecule will circumvent an important limitation of ferroptosis, which promotes the destruction of multiple cells in the tumor microenvironment, including immune cells.
