Rhodoquinone carries electrons in the mammalian electron transport chain
Valeros et al. identify rhodoquinone (RQ), an electron carrier present in mammalian
mitochondria, that can deliver electrons to fumarate instead of O2 as the terminal
electron acceptor. The authors de...

So excited to see this out! Congratulations to @sarahehancock.bsky.social and everyone involved!
I'm so relieved to finally get this one up as a preprint. We started this project back in 2019 when we created our first gemcitabine (GEMC) resistant (GEMR) #PDAC cell line. We showed that GEMR upregulates lipid synthesis and that targeting different steps could sensitise cells to GEMC. 1/n 🧪👩🔬

Check out the latest preprint from our lab group, where we show targeting lipid metabolism can sensitise pancreatic cancer cells to gemacitabine-based chemotherapy. Congrats to our postdoc @sarahehancock.bsky.social for pulling this one together.
