    Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by infection-driven metabolic and immune dysregulation, leading to high mortality rates.

  • 2

    Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent cell death process, is linked to oxidative stress and tissue injury in sepsis due to lipid peroxidation.

  • 3

    Autophagy regulates ferroptosis susceptibility by controlling iron mobilization, lipid availability, and mitochondrial quality in sepsis.

  • 4

    Antioxidant nanomedicines offer targeted therapeutic strategies to mitigate oxidative damage while preserving immune function in sepsis.

  • 5

    Precision redox modulation in sepsis requires biomarker-guided patient stratification and compartment-specific delivery of therapies.
