Fig. 3: Ferroptosis-associated TFs regulate the emerging hallmarks of neurological diseases.

The figure shows how TFs affect ferroptosis in neurological diseases (for example, AD, PD, epilepsy and stroke) and their relationships with disease phenotypes. a In AD, TF-mediated regulation of ferroptosis is linked to disease phenotypes such as Aβ deposition, tau hyperphosphorylation, OS and neuroinflammation. b In PD, TF-mediated regulation of ferroptosis is involved in its disease phenotypes such as α-synuclein aggregation, OS and neuroinflammation. c In epilepsy, ferroptosis-related TFs can affect neuronal hyperexcitability, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation and neurogenesis. d In stroke, ferroptosis-associated TFs regulate the formation of thrombus, OS and neuroinflammation.
