Diverse, specialized immune cells defend against pathogens and cancer cells. A new study reveals the comprehensive lipid compositions of these cells, with unique lipidomes associated with various immune cell types. They show that cell-specific lipid compositions determine a key functional phenotype: their susceptibility to ferroptosis.
