Abstract
The increasing prevalence of brain injuries resulting in cognitive and motor function impairments poses a substantial global medical challenge. Nerve repair therapies offer promise for addressing brain injury-related disorders. Ferroptosis, as a cell death mechanism associated with oxidative stress and inflammation. Certain ferroptosis inhibitors, such as iron chelators and antioxidants, exhibit therapeutic potential for brain injury-related conditions. This review explores the fundamental processes and associated mechanisms that regulate neural repair by inhibiting ferroptosis, thereby alleviating brain injury and promoting neuroregeneration. Furthermore, it examines the action mechanisms and potential therapeutic applications of ferroptosis inhibitors in neural repair, aiming to provide novel insights for treating brain injuries.
