Probing GPX4 as a target to drive ferroptosis
Ferroptosis has become a promising target for cancer therapy. This regulated non-apoptotic cell death process is described as an iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, specifically necessitating peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing phospholipids. The protective mechanism in healthy cells is for the resulting lipid hydroperoxides to be converted to the corresponding lipid alcohols by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) […]

MDS Imaging Flow Cytometry with DRAQ5
Features with MDS need to be better defined to be robust indicators of disease. Disease experts from Lund University and Skåne Regional Laboratories show that Imaging Flow Cytometry (IFC) can provide the statistical discrimination of cellular features that are cellular hallmarks of MDS. Notably they used DRAQ5 to trigger cellular events, widely used elsewhere. However, […]
Atherosclerosis research – plaque monitoring and cell biology
Two new papers utilizing DRAQ5 to facilitate high quality cell sorting to downstream single cell RNA sequencing to unpick the molecular backdrop to atherosclerotic plaque cell biology. In the first of these, from Muredach Reilly’s lab at Columbia University, fibroblasts were profiled. Four distinct subpopulations were identified – all of which diminished in number upon […]

New knowledge on MS progression
It has proved difficult to predict the likelihood of progression of disease in MS. New work shows that there is a complex relationship between ependymal cells at the tissue interface with CSF and extrinsic factors and also with cell-intrinsic factors that provide new avenues for prognostic and perhaps therapeutic advantage. A team led by Dr […]
New options for ALS/FTD therapies
A team lead by scientists at Thomas Jefferson University have demonstrated a new opportunity for intervening in ALS/FTD. They worked on the hypothesis that aberrant arginine-rich dipeptide repeat (R-DPR) proteins are a key toxicity, aggregating with RNA binding proteins. They demonstrated that it was possible to disrupt the aggregation, though initially at the cost of […]
3D platform to study EndMT under shear stress
Endothelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EndMT) is a well-understood in development but not in the adult. This may be important in development of disease or progression through invasion, as in metastasis. A laboratory at the University of Binghamton, NY has developed a 3D fluidic device that permits the application of shear stress to endothelial cells to […]
