Iron-loaded Red Blood Cells undergo a lipid peroxidation process akin to ferroptosis during storage in the blood bank. We now show that they also harbor a functional GPX4, and common SNPs, genetic or pharmacological manipulation impact transfusion outcomes www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New in @natbiotech.nature.com: a team led by scientists at MSK and University of Toronto have developed a new platform to facilitate the study of RNA-biding proteins (RBPs) across hundreds of species of plants, insects, and animals.

Thrilled to share the first pre-print from our lab! We tackled a big question: Why are some pediatric leukemias extremely aggressive? We explored the developmental origins of fusion-driven acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Let's dive in! #AML #NUP98 A thread... n/13

What protects individuals from developing blood cancers?
Thrilled to share my work in @bloodgenes.bsky.social lab, describing inherited resilience protecting blood stem cells from clonal hematopoiesis by modifying RNA regulation. 🧵👇 (1/n)

Congratulations to our Senior Scientists Drs. John Dick and Jean Wang, and Jayne Danska from @sickkidsto.bsky.social
on receiving the Inventor of the Year Award @uhntoronto.bsky.social. Their research has advanced a cancer immunotherapy now in global Phase II trials for hematological malignancies.
Well deserved award for Dr. Gordon Keller! Gordon was a member of my thesis committee when I was a PhD student and his helpful suggestions made me a better scientist :)

Mitochondria consist of networks of cylindrical tubes, right? Not necessarily! - in our new preprint, @gavsturm.bsky.social investigates how mitochondria transiently adopt a beads-on-a-string morphology

I’m thrilled to share a collaborative story from @Mendell_lab and Jan Erzberger labs, led by postdoc extraordinaire Xiaoqiang Zhu. We showed that in addition to their canonical decoding function, tRNAs play a key role in regulating mRNA stability during translation!
