Dream come true to wake up on the cover of Nat Chem Bio #MrTAC #degrader

UC Irvine scientists uncover cellular mechanism behind muscle repair, via @EurekAlert! @UCIrvine eurekalert.org/news-releases/…

Thanks to @NatureSMB for publishing a "Research Briefing" on our recent work, highlighting the discoveries and providing context on the story behind our research into how vitamin B2 metabolism regulates FSP1 stability to suppress ferroptosis.

1/3 Thrilled to see our paper led by Kirandeep Deol is out! We used CRISPR screens to uncover regulators of the ferroptosis suppressor FSP1. key discovery: vitamin B2 metabolism stabilizes FSP1 via FAD, revealing a new way vitamins regulate ferroptosis. nature.com/articles/s4159…

@Matt_Muscle_Guy Thank you so much!!

@TheAlbrecht_Lab Congrats Lauren and team. Nice work!

🙏
