How does NOX4-mediated ferroptosis in diabetic keratopathy relate to ferroptotic mechanisms in other diabetic complications?

OPEN

While NOX4-mediated ferroptosis is established here for corneal epithelium, it's unclear whether this represents a generalizable mechanism across diabetic complications affecting neural tissues like diabetic neuropathy or retinopathy. This knowledge gap limits understanding of whether ferroptosis represents a common pathogenic pathway in diabetic complications. Gap type: open_question Source paper: NOX4 mediates ferroptosis through oxidative stress in diabetic keratopathy. (2026, Exp Eye Res, PMID:41951167)
