Dirk Brenner's research group in Luxembourg @LIH_Luxembourg and @uni_lu. We study #immunology, #immunometabolism in inflammation and cancer.








I've been on a Twitter moratorium for the last week given the.. news, but I'm happy to announce a new story from our group @NatImmunol describing a metabolic sensitivity of exhausted T cells to lactic acid in tumors! 1/ nature.com/articles/s4159…







@DavidFinlayTCD we are looking forward to your presentation at #Mito25 this coming February☀️There is only 2 WEEKS left to register, so please RT to let your followers know limited spaces remain to join us in the Dominican Republic! 🇩🇴 Register here➡️bit.ly/3zPBufN

Novel Selenium Carrier Protein Regulates Ferroptosis in Cancer and Brain🧫 👉Read more: t1p.de/kr969 Scientists at #HelmholtzMunich have uncovered the selenium carrier protein PRDX6 as a critical player in #ferroptosis - a cell death process that holds promise for #cancer and neurodegenerative disease #therapies. 💡This study reveals PRDX6’s dual role as both a regulator of #OxidativeStress and a selenium transporter, essential for maintaining cellular defenses against damage. 🌟Implications: Targeting PRDX6 may increase sensitivity to ferroptosis in cancer cells, a potential new strategy against therapy-resistant #tumors. In neurodegenerative diseases like #Alzheimer’s, PRDX6 could help protect neurons by supporting selenoprotein production, opening doors for therapeutic advancements. @Conrad_Lab @Ferroptosis2306 @Ferroptosis1 #CancerResearch #NeurodegenerativeDisease #Selenium #MultipleSclerosis
