My lab's first paper is out in nature. We show that lipoprotein uptake protects tumors from ferroptosis by delivering the lipid antioxidant α-tocopherol. Surprisingly, tumors use sulfated glycosaminoglycans—not canonical receptors—to capture lipoproteins. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Thank goodness. Problem solved. #physicianscientistdad UTSW Neurology

It’s most interesting to note that UPF still led to significant weight loss and that this didn’t occur in participants who previously consumed >50% kcal from UPF —> argues that research participants do BETTER—>meaning everyone should join a diet research study. 😂

Thrilled to have interviewed Dr. Mistry UofL Health on his work to create a transcriptomic atlas of nervous system tumors, adding to what we know on segregation of tumors and echoing the earlier methylation classifier (nature.com/articles/natur…). podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/neu… SNO
