Core Tip Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a diabetes-related form of heart failure that lacks targeted therapies. Recent evidence identifies endothelial ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death, as a central driver of cardiac microvascular injury in DCM. Guo et al. demonstrate that Farrerol, a natural flavonoid, inhibits ferroptosis by downregulating microRNA-29b-3p and restoring sirtuin 1 signaling in endothelial cells, thereby improving cardiac function and reducing fibrosis in diabetic mice. Targeting endothelial ferroptosis through the microRNA-29b-3p/sirtuin 1 pathway represents a novel disease-modifying strategy for DCM.
