Do melanoma cells rewire interorganelle iron flow? ⚡️We found that BDH2 controls lysosome-to-mitochondria Fe2+ transport, coupling lysosomal pH to ferroptosis vulnerability. Huge congrats to @francirizz.bsky.social, thanks to @juliebonnereau.bsky.social and collabs 🙏

Honored to have our image @mariamls.bsky.social featured on the June cover of NCB! It's a stunning depiction of #ER-mitochondria hotspots in #ferroptosis. Huge thanks to @natcellbio.nature.com team for this awesome recognition of our work. @viblifesciences.bsky.social

🚨 Where does #lipid peroxidation kick off in #ferroptosis? 🔥Excited to reveal #ER- #mitochondria #contactsites as the ignition point of the lipid peroxidation cascade! Huge kudos to our Maria Livia Sassano @mariamls.bsky.social & our amazing collaborators who made this breakthrough possible!

Congratulations on your publication @francirizz.bsky.social! You revealed the secrets of mitochondria-lysosome contacts 👏👏👏 Another achievement .. soon the new one!

Academics get so jaded about institutions, when they reach a #leadership position many feel #researchculture is unactionable. Me and @deefitzgerald.bsky.social wrote a guide in @immunolcellbiol.bsky.social on leadership nurturing a positive culture 1/13

FSP1-mediated lipid droplet quality control prevents neutral lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.06.631537v1

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.

Is basic science undervalued? David Glanzman (UCLA) talks about the decline of 'middle class' labs and that "there is no empirical evidence that the translational approach accomplishes this [cures] any better than the traditional one. Claims to the contrary at this point are mere propaganda."

Hi Bluesky crew! New here and excited to connect 😀 This is our most recent preprint where we describe the molecular machinery regulating iron transport between lysosomes and mitochondria.. 1/2
