Secondary Necrosis Following Caspase‐Activation can Occur Independently of Gasdermin E Secondary necrosis follows apoptosis, but its mechanism is unclear. This study shows that although gasdermin E is cleaved during this process, it is not required for membrane rupture. Across multiple...

Registration is open: register for the first #MMPUResearchDay taking place in #Mannheim at #CubexOne on Oct 13, 2025. A great line-up of scientists from #MMPU, #EMBL, #UMM, #UKHD.

Hydroxyestradiol alleviates acute kidney injury via blockade of ferroptosis The molecular mechanisms underlying sex differences in acute kidney injury (AKI) remain incompletely understood. In a study recently published in Natu…

Very pleased to share this "spotlight" in Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism which refers to our recent work.

I do, indeed!

Happy to start at Bluesky with a post on our recent manuscript at @nature.com:

Great collaboration with cool scientists such as @theprattgroup.bsky.social, @fedorovalab.bsky.social and many who do not (yet) have a Bluesky account.

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
