And congrats Pedro and team as well!

Congrats James, Kirandeep and team!!!

Thanks for highlighting our work!!! We’ve been a bit slow to post group news since moving to Bluesky! Indeed, we still have a surprising amount to learn about lipid peroxidation. Congratulations to Ali Dehdari for his careful work in revealing this important aspect.

Congratulations, Andreas and team - and welcome to BlueSky!

The first FASEB Ferroptosis conference! ✔️ Thank you to my co-organizer Scott Dixon, our sponsors, and the whole #Ferroptosis community for showing up and making this such a wonderful meeting! 🤩 ❤️

FYI - We've extended abstract submission deadline to June 8. Submit soon to be considered for a short talk. Come join us at the first FASEB #Ferroptosis meeting! It's going to be awwwwesome! 🤩

Lipid-degrading small molecule kills cancer cells by ferroptosis A molecule designed to activate iron locked up in organelles called lysosomes and thereby induce cell death might offer a way to tackle treatment-resistant cancer.

Activation of lysosomal iron triggers ferroptosis in cancer - Nature Some cancer cells exhibit high loads of reactive iron in lysosomes, and this feature is exploited by using fentomycin-1, a newly developed small molecule, to induce ferroptosis.

new out in Nature, very cool story www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Recommendations for robust and reproducible research on ferroptosis Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology - Ferroptosis is a non-apoptotic type of cell death that is induced by uncontrolled iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation and has important roles in...

This is literally what you get when you look for alcohol on the LCBO website. For those unfamiliar, the liquor control board of ontario is the LARGEST single purchaser of alcohol IN THE WORLD. Why? Because they buy for all of ontario.

Deadline for #CSC2025 abstracts is approaching. “Chemistry Sings the Blues” is a symposium in celebration of the life and contributions of Dr. Willie Leigh. It is in the INORG division (ORG doesn’t allow symposia in honour of) but is open to all areas of chemistry. www.xcdsystem.com/cic/abstract...

Not opposite obviously, looked too quickly! You know what I mean…

The clock tower ;) Was Mark on the other side of that glass?

Western!

Congrats Kamyar and team! We are happy to have helped out. Very useful to have approved drugs to accelerate validation of ferroptosis inhibition as a therapeutic strategy!

No derivatization required! Thiol oxidation products (RSOH, RSCl, etc) can be observed and characterized directly using Dmitry’s water-soluble triptycene scaffold. Check it and some cool applications out now in ChemSci! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... @roysocchem.bsky.social

Ligand-Based Radical Reactivity of Metal Thiosemicarbazones Prompts the Identification of Platinum(II)-Based Cytoprotectants CuATSM, a copper(II) complex of a bis(thiosemicarbazone) of diacetyl, prevents oxidative cell death and acts as a neuroprotectant in vivo, prompting its evaluation to treat amyotrophic lateral scleros...

First post on the new (to us) platform! Now out with page numbers: Mike and Aditya inhibit #ferroptosis with platinum complexes!? You read that right… platinum is not just for killing cells! Check it out in JACS: pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...
