What biomarkers can stratify ALS patients most likely to respond to ferroptosis-targeted therapies?

OPEN

The debate emphasized that iron chelation and other anti-ferroptosis approaches may only benefit specific patient subsets, but no validated stratification strategy exists. This represents a critical barrier to successful clinical translation of ferroptosis-based therapeutics.
