Thrilled to have contributed to this work led by @jgcastillo.bsky.social during his PhD at UC Berkeley w/ Michel DuPage. Targeting FSP1 in T cells boosts anti-tumor immunity by relieving Treg suppression, revealing a new immunomodulatory therapeutic axis. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Selective disruption of lipid peroxide homeostasis in intratumoral regulatory T cells by targeting FSP1 enhances cancer immunity

Deletion of Aifm2 disrupts Treg cell immunosuppression within tumors without inciting autoimmune pathology in mice.

Reviewing the paper by the Kats´ lab published today in #Cell, "Inhibition of heme biosynthesis triggers cuproptosis in acute myeloid leukemia", I learned that cuproptosis is real! Here is my preview: When heme is low, copper kills cancer: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

When heme is low, copper kills cancer

Heme carries oxygen and is critical for the control of redox reactions. In this issue of Cell, Lewis and Gruber et al. demonstrate how low concentrations of heme destabilize complex IV of the respirat...

Hot off the presses! Was an honor to team up with Scott Dixon @stanforduniversity.bsky.social on this Nature Cancer review. We reflect on hurdles that have slowed translation of ferroptosis-directed therapies and share ideas on what it will take to bring these therapies to the clinic. rdcu.be/eBbqV

Prospects for ferroptosis therapies in cancer

Nature Cancer - Ubellacker and Dixon summarize the latest discoveries on ferroptosis in cancer, covering the molecular and cellular pathways underlying sensitivity and resistance to this type of...
