#VitaminE_FriendOrFoe?! Garcia-Bermudez &co show @nature.com that tumors uptake lipoproteins enriched in Vitamin E protecting cancer cells from ferroptosis! Identification of sulfated glycans as port of entry of lipoproteins can be used therapeutically to force tumor ferroptotic cell death!
Glycosaminoglycan-driven lipoprotein uptake protects tumours from ferroptosis - Nature
Lipoprotein uptake dependent on sulfated glycosaminoglycans linked to cell-surface proteoglycans is a key determinant of ferroptosis sensitivity in cancer.
