Happy to have contributed to this preprint with Fangzhu Zhao and @realJimWells! LRP8-targeted bispecific antibody degraders degrade the selenium uptake receptor LRP8, reduce GPX4 / selenoproteins, and sensitize cancer cells to ferroptosis.

Vitória brasileira: Fruto do esforço científico nacional, a Butantan-DV começou a ser desenvolvida em 2009, quando o Brasil enfrentava recordes de dengue. Foram 270 experimentos e 50 tentativas de formulação até chegar ao produto final. Saiba mais: https://t.co/Jq1CnueM1I

Proud for being launching our Center of Metabolism at USP!!! Together with my colleagues @AJKowaltowski
@sayuri_miyamoto e Marilia Seelander we are creating CoMeta. Take a look below to know more about this: https://t.co/oMrXTnSmDc

[James Olzmann @OlzmannLab]

Excited to share our new study out in @NatureCellBio! Led by postdoc @MikeLangePhD, we identify the first #LipidDroplet lipid quality control pathway: LD-localized FSP1 protects stored lipids from oxidative damage and prevents LD-initiated #ferroptosis.

🎉Congrats to our 2025 biomedical scholars and fellows!

These 37 early-career scientists are embarking on innovative research projects in neuroscience, microbiology, cancer research, and more. https://t.co/W5zNjPA0fh

[Javier Garcia-Bermudez @JaviGBermudez]

My lab's first paper is out in @Nature. We show that lipoprotein uptake protects tumors from ferroptosis by delivering the lipid antioxidant α-tocopherol. Surprisingly, tumors use sulfated glycosaminoglycans—not canonical receptors—to capture lipoproteins. https://t.co/NBv1sUXxJ5

[James Olzmann @OlzmannLab]

Exciting new work from @looogannn & Scott Dixon in @nchembio! Tegavivint, a clinical-stage drug, triggers a novel lipid-dependent nonapoptotic cell death via TECR and palmitate synthesis. Very cool! 🤩

New paper is out!🎄🥳

Identification of Novel Human 15-Lipoxygenase-2 (h15-LOX-2) Inhibitors Using a Virtual Screening Approach.

Congratulations to all authors! @lucasgviv, Thais Iijima, Erika Piccirllo, Leandro Rezende, Thiago Alegria, Luis Neto +
