Vitamin B2 is usually linked to health, but new research reveals a surprising twist. Scientists found that it may help cancer cells evade ferroptosis, a form of programmed cell death that normally helps suppress tumors.
The vitamin appears to support a protective cellular system that shields cancer cells from destruction. However, researchers also discovered a potential workaround. A vitamin B2-like compound called roseoflavin was able to disrupt this defense, triggering cancer cell death in lab experiments.
These findings open up new possibilities for cancer therapy, suggesting that targeting this pathway could help make tumors more vulnerable to treatment.
