START smuggling CoQ to fight ferroptosis

Extramitochondrial coenzyme Q (CoQ) can function as a potent anti-ferroptosis radical trapper. However, it is largely unknown how CoQ is transported from mitochondria to the plasma membrane. A study now suggests that PARL-mediated STARD7 processing is responsible for the cellular distribution of CoQ.
