Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), encompassing Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, with an increasing incidence worldwide. Recent advancements in cellular biology have identified ferroptosis, a form programmed cell death driven iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, as critical player pathology IBD. This article reviews current understanding ferroptosis its distinctive mechanisms, including role GPx4, Nrf2-HO-1 pathways, iron metabolism context It also examines dual nature intestinal health disease, contributing to both physiological functions pathological processes through oxidative stress inflammation. The implications epithelial death, barrier function, immune response are discussed, highlighting potential novel therapeutic target. Despite promising insights, underscores need for further research elucidate complex mechanisms IBD translate these findings into effective strategies. emerging evidence positions at crossroads metabolic, inflammatory, offering unique perspective on interplay between nutrition, genetics, immunity disease.

Lung cancer is one of the cancers with highest mortality rates. Non-small cell lung (NSCLC) accounts for 85% cases and often diagnosed at an advanced stage a poor prognosis. Due to lack effective molecular targets, current clinical cure rate low, recurrence high. Recent studies have found that active components traditional Chinese medicine herbal formulas can inhibit development NSCLC through multiple pathways effectively reducing its metastasis rates, improving treatment side effects, compensating deficiencies in drug resistance. Although treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy achieved better efficacy treating cancer, they still problems complications severe adverse reactions. In recent years, numerous basic confirmed good effects cancer. Traditional has synergistic regulatory effect components, pathways, channels. The monomeric complex mechanisms action determine there are issues unclear related prevention by medicine. There urgent need elucidate intervening from perspective modern medicine, levels biology, network pharmacology, etc. This article systematically summarizes research progress on regulation above-mentioned signaling expression key protein molecules monomers or formulas, aiming clarify progression provide ideas theoretical basis in-depth study application
