A study in Nature Cell Biology identifies riboflavin, vitamin B2, as a regulator of FSP1 stability that modulates phospholipid peroxidation and ferroptosis sensitivity in cancer cells. underscoring the therapeutic potential of targeting riboflavin metabolism. go.nature.com/4blD8Gi #medsky 🧪

Interesting and systematic evaluation that consolidates many observations the field has already been converging on: GPX4 dependency appears to be overestimated in vivo. Suggesting that exploiting high-PUFA states in specific cancer entities is unlikely to benefit from single-target GPX4 inhibition.

#Vitamin B2 is converted into molecules which protect cells from oxidative damage. The downside: It also protects #cancer cells. Scientists at the Rudolf Virchow Centre at #JMU discovered that. 📸 Natalie Fahmer ➡️ www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-...

New online: FAD-dependent stabilization of FSP1 promotes ferroptosis resistance

🧐 What if metabolic defects are not just a consequence of inflammatory disease - but actively contribute to it? Inflammation and metabolism are deeply intertwined, but the molecular links remain unclear. Our new paper in Cell Death & Differentiation uncovers one. 🧵👇 nature.com/articles/s41...
