Doxorubicin-Associated Cardiotoxicity Promoted by Mitochondrial Iron Accumulation

Previous research has shown that while doxorubicin is a widely used as a component of chemotherapy regimes; it's use is associated with severe cardiotoxicity. It is unclear exactly how doxorubicin promotes cardiotoxicity, but it has been proposed that doxorubicin-associated cardiomyopathy develops as the result of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and iron accumulation. In this issue of the iJournal of Clinical Investigation/i, Hossein Ardehali ...
