Response regulation Dichloroacetate (DCA) could sequester iron in lysosome and thus trigger ferroptosis, which is necessary for DCA-mediated attenuation on colorectal cancer cell stemness. And DCA can attenuate the stemness of colorectal CSCs without affecting the viability of colorectal cancer cells.
