Ferroptosis holds promise for cancer therapy. A recent study by Yang et al. in Cell Metabolism reveals that VKORC1L1-mediated reduction of vitamin K inhibits ferroptosis and establishes a direct p53-VKORC1L1 link in its regulation. As warfarin can inhibit VKORC1L1, the study further underscores this drug's potential as a cancer therapy. Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
