Congrats to Ed Reznik and the team on our paper "Lipidomic changes in persister cancer cells drive enhanced ferroptosis sensitivity" in the new journal Ferroptosis and Oxidative Stress! www.sciexplor.com/articles/fos... (free w/ no subscription no APCs)
Lipidomic changes in persister cancer cells drive enhanced ferroptosis sensitivity
Aims: Unique in the broader category of drug-resistant cells, persister cancer cells (PSs) acquire their tolerance to compounds through reversible, chromatin-mediated changes, allowing them to ‘persis...

Professor King understood that impactful researchers can benefit broader society by teaching about their #science, and that education is improved when we bring frontier research ideas in the classroom.

I was honored to give the L. Carroll King Memorial Lectures at Northwestern University, sponsored by the Chemistry Department.

Professor King was a pioneering researcher and #teacher who joined Northwestern’s faculty in 1942. He was active in advancing ideas about chemical #education

LIMD1 Loss Confers a GPX4-Dependent Cell State in Lung Cancer
LIMD1 (LIM domains containing 1) is a bona-fide tumour suppressor gene frequently lost during the early stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) development, resulting in a worse outcome for LIMD1...

Thank you @senkalce.bsky.social for hosting me for a fantastic visit at VCU! What an impressive group of faculty and students doing impactful science
Many thanks to @brentstockwell.bsky.social for his visit to VCU, meeting with faculty, and delivering a great talk.
Another beautiful example of a basic discovery sparked by pure curiosity that ends up having immense biological implications. Thank you @brentstockwell.bsky.social for a wonderful seminar and lovely visit! @senkalce.bsky.social
