Why does IGF2BP1 exhibit dual regulatory roles in both neuronal ferroptosis and microglial polarization?

OPEN

The study shows IGF2BP1 simultaneously regulates two distinct pathological processes in different cell types, but the mechanistic basis for this dual functionality is unclear. Understanding this could reveal whether IGF2BP1 uses common or distinct molecular pathways across cell types. Gap type: unexplained_observation Source paper: IGF2BP1 exacerbates neuroinflammation and cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury by regulating neuronal ferroptosis and microglial polarization. (2025, Biochimica et biophysica acta. Molecular basis of disease, PMID:40294852)
