How does ferroptosis mechanistically cause AQP4 depolarization and dysfunction?

OPEN

The abstract links ferroptosis to AQP4 depolarization but provides no mechanistic explanation for this connection. This gap is crucial since AQP4 dysfunction drives the edema formation that causes secondary brain injury. Gap type: unexplained_observation Source paper: Multimodal MR Imaging Reveals the Mechanisms of Post-Cardiac-Arrest Brain edema: Ferroptosis-Mediated BBB Disruption and AQP4 Dysfunction.
