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

Thank you to Florian Ullrich for shepherding this along and useful insights along the way. Finally, none of this work is done in isolation and want to shout again to all the members of our lab (barpeledlab.org)!!!!

I’m excited to share the latest work from our lab, led by a group of three amazing scientists: Junbing Zhang, Yousuf Ali and Harrison Chong, who describe @nature the discovery of a ROS sensor, VPS35, which links cytosolic H2O2 levels to regulation of mitochondrial translation and

Excited to share our new study on translocation RCC (tRCC) in collaboration with @liron1bar-peled.bsky.social. We reveal how the TFE3 fusion drives a key oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) metabolic program in this rare kidney cancer. trebuchet.public.springernature.app/get_content/... 1/

@liron1bar-peled.bsky.social will use his ELA to develop "molecular staples," a new class of drugs designed to disrupt oncogenic fusion proteins, which form when two genes abnormally join together and can drive many different types of cancers. @massgeneralbrigham.bsky.social

We’ve preprinted a small follow-up to our identification of MFSD12 as a mediator of lysosomal cysteine import. Would love to discuss, so please get in contact if you have comments or suggestions!
