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

Riboflavin metabolism shapes FSP1-driven ferroptosis resistance - Nature Cell Biology

After performing a focused CRISPR–Cas9 screen, Skafar et al. identify riboflavin (vitamin B2) as a regulator of FSP1 stability that modulates phospholipid peroxidation and ferroptosis sensitivity in c...

Cells may work with “Lego®️ bricks” 🧱 at the molecular level. Our new study shows that peroxiredoxins can mix different subunits to form hybrid complexes arranged in donut-like rings 🍩, creating molecular diversity that helps cells fine-tune stress and redox signaling responses.
