Abstract

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), regulators of cellular behaviors ranging from signaling to cell death, have complex production and control mechanisms to maintain a dynamic redox balance under physiological conditions. Redox imbalance is frequently observed in tumor cells, where ROS within tolerable limits promote oncogenic transformation, while excessive ROS induce a range of regulated cell death (RCD). As such, targeting ROS-mediated regulated cell death as a vulnerability in cancer. However, the precise regulatory networks governing ROS-mediated cancer cell death and their therapeutic applications remain inadequately characterized. In this Review, we first provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms…
