A recent study has uncovered the molecular mechanisms behind osteocyte death in melanoma bone metastasis, revealing that ferroptosis–an iron-dependent form of cell death–plays a central role in the destruction of bone cells. The research identifies the HIF1α-HMOX1 axis as a critical pathway that induces excessive autophagy and iron overload, leading to osteocyte demise.
