Ferroptotic cell death triggered by conjugated linolenic acids is mediated by ACSL1

Inhibition of the lipid peroxidase GPX4 promotes ferroptotic cell death. Here, the authors identify a complementary approach using conjugated linolenic fatty acids that trigger lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis via ACSL1, DGAT1/2, and neutral lipids.
