Hot off the presses! Was an honor to team up with Scott Dixon @stanforduniversity.bsky.social on this Nature Cancer review. We reflect on hurdles that have slowed translation of ferroptosis-directed therapies and share ideas on what it will take to bring these therapies to the clinic. rdcu.be/eBbqV

Thank you to Florian Ullrich for shepherding this along and useful insights along the way. Finally, none of this work is done in isolation and want to shout again to all the members of our lab (barpeledlab.org)!!!!

Liron Bar-Peled @liron1bar-peled.bsky.social · Mar 26

This would not have been possible without funding from NCI, @theaacr, MaryKay, @ludwigcancer, @targetcancer, Vfoundation, @pewtrusts and ALKLungCancer.

chemoresistance. Check it out here: www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08756-y. Using base editing and computational screens, we uncovered how changes in cytosolic redox converge onto VPS35 to regulate its localization, alter plasma membrane protein content and influence mitochondrial translation,

I’m excited to share the latest work from our lab, led by a group of three amazing scientists: Junbing Zhang, Yousuf Ali and Harrison Chong, who describe @nature the discovery of a ROS sensor, VPS35, which links cytosolic H2O2 levels to regulation of mitochondrial translation and

Excited to share our new study on translocation RCC (tRCC) in collaboration with @liron1bar-peled.bsky.social. We reveal how the TFE3 fusion drives a key oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) metabolic program in this rare kidney cancer. trebuchet.public.springernature.app/get_content/... 1/
