Faculty @uarizona. Passionate about asking fundamental questions related to cell signaling, metabolism, and epigenetics using #RCC as a model system.

[Shilatifard Lab @ShilatifardLab]

Congratulations to Chandel lab for demonstrating that a metabolite once considered purely “toxic” may actually be a key signaling molecule in cells and organisms. This study demonstrates that l-2-HG functions in signaling by regulating epigenetic state via KDM4/H3K9me3 demethylase and linking redox state to transcriptional repression. The study provides initial words in “Metabolic Language” of transcription. https://t.co/VGUTYlhsk3 @NU_BMG_SQE @NUFeinbergMed @Nature @CellPressNews @ScienceMagazine @MolecularCell @theNASciences @theNAMedicine @NorthwesternU @NatMetabolism

New preprint w/ the Dupage lab! FSP1 KO in Tregs / Tcells promotes tumor suppression, highlighting the therapeutic value & single-agent potential of FSP1 inhibition. A new paradigm for targeting ferroptosis in the immune system (not just in cancer cells).

Eating less can lead to a longer life: massive study in mice shows processes beyond metabolic regulation drive how the body responds to caloric restriction. What mattered most were traits related to immune health and red-blood-cell function. https://t.co/2aXNPvawKM

Thanks @TennessenLab for including us in this important study. It's made a critical contribution to the growing knowledge of the oncometabolite, L-2HG. #RCC #Kidneycancer.

[Jason Tennessen @TennessenLab]

Our latest paper on hypoxia, oncometabolites, and mitochondrial metabolism is now out!

[HHMI @hhmi_science]

Contrary to how tumors operate while still in the kidney, metastatic kidney cancers rely heavily on mitochondrial metabolism, according to new research from HHMI Investigator Ralph DeBerardinis (@RJDLab) & colleagues @CRI_UTSW.

[Anirban Kundu (Ph.D.) @Lab_AKundu]

Finally published from @RJDLab a key concept about the critical role of #RCC metabolism in its metastasis. Huge congrats to the whole team.
