Abstract

Transmembrane receptor proteins are proficient in sensing external signals and initiating downstream pathways to control cell survival. Lin et al. demonstrated that GPR56, a G-protein-coupled receptor, can be activated by its agonist to suppress ferroptosis-a form of cell death-and effectively mitigate ferroptosis-associated liver damage.
