N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, a prevalent RNA modification in eukaryotic cells, is crucial in regulating various aspects of RNA metabolism. Notably, accumulating evidence has implicated m6A modification in ferroptosis, a form of iron-dependent cell death characterized by elevated iron levels and lipid peroxide accumulation. Overall, this review sheds light on the potential diagnostic and therapeutic applications of m6A regulators in addressing conditions associated with ferroptosis.
