Happy to share the final version of the study where we describe a central role for vitaminB2 in regulating membrane redox state - some new cool experiments were added since the preprint was posted - pls check this out

Riboflavin metabolism shapes FSP1-driven ferroptosis resistance - Nature Cell Biology
After performing a focused CRISPR–Cas9 screen, Skafar et al. identify riboflavin (vitamin B2) as a regulator of FSP1 stability that modulates phospholipid peroxidation and ferroptosis sensitivity in c...

One more thing- here, together with amazing human being, friend & stellar physician scientist Abby Xie, we identify a new function of the TCA cycle, which is citrate clearance, now online at @cellpress.bsky.social: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
Citrate clearance is a major function of aconitase 2 in the canonical TCA cycle
Beyond its traditional role in supporting bioenergetic and biosynthetic demands, the canonical TCA cycle is also essential for nutrient clearance. When pyruvate oxidation and citrate production increa...

A big chunk of my postdoctoral work on cell-state dependent metabolism is now out at @cp-molcell.bsky.social: www.cell.com/molecular-ce... 1/
Aspartate availability drives differential engagement of the malate-aspartate shuttle
Brunner et al. report that malate-aspartate shuttle engagement is cell-state dependent and can be modulated by the availability of the amino acid aspartate. In differentiated cells, malate-aspartate s...

🚀 Excited to share new work from Daniel Haas. In collaboration with Jan Hasenauer and Daniel Weindl within
@batenergy.bsky.social we've developed a software tool to map protein and lipid localization in cells, making spatial biology more accessible

C-COMPASS: a user-friendly neural network tool profiles cell compartments at protein and lipid levels - Nature Methods
C-COMPASS is an open-source software designed to predict the spatial cellular distribution of proteins and lipids from cellular organelle profiling using a neural network-based regression model.
