Strong evidence supports ACSL4's role in PUFA-PE enrichment driving ferroptosis sensitivity, while transcriptomic atlases confirm ferroptosis-related gene upregulation in AD brains. However, the causal chain from ACSL4 activity specifically in oligodendrocytes to white matter damage remains incompletely established, and the DAM phenotype may represent neuroprotective adaptation rather than pathological driver.
