Pleased to share our recent work out today in @natmetabolism.nature.com. This study addresses a longstanding mystery - NRF2-driven cancers increase cysteine acquisition (via xCT) by ~5x - so where does all that cysteine go?

Isn't this like normal?

Happy to share the final version of the study where we describe a central role for vitaminB2 in regulating membrane redox state - some new cool experiments were added since the preprint was posted - pls check this out thttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41556-025-01856-x

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...

The unimaginable is happening in the US government, but the muted response of Americans against it surprises me. Brazilians may have something to contribute, explaining how to organize a good Panelaço (which in English is apparently a "casserole protest"): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cacerol...

thats the sort of news the word is needing right now

Several people, close and distant, have reached out to me to express their concern that my critique of the LLPS field and more specifically of the role of @hymanlab.bsky.social is personally motivated. I thank them for expressing their concerns.

Debates about the so-called nuclear matrix and lipid rafts were polarizing and aggressive but nothing like what’s brewing with phase separation…

I believe that we are about to see a major scientific conflict play out here on BlueSky, for better or for worse. I'll weigh in on this on the blog once I'm sure that I understand everyone's positions:

I’m on the last season of Stranger Things and it’s basically El Chavo del 8 now: everyone’s ‘a kid’, but the faces say otherwise

an urgent change in the system is needed and its not the one german politicians are advocating for -

Recently out: “Uniform dynamics of cohesin-mediated loop extrusion in living human cells”. In this study led by brilliant former PhD student Thomas Sabaté we use live cell microscopy and polymer simulations to characterize how DNA loops and TADs form in human cells by cohesin-driven extrusion.
