A non-canonical function of glutathione to suppress ferroptosis via FSP1
Glutathione (GSH) robustly defends against ferroptosis independently of GPX4. FSP1 utilizes GSH to reduce ubiquinone and subsequently inhibits ferroptosis, which is distinct from the NAD(P)H-FAD axis....

Nitrated fatty acids form membrane biochemical capacitors that restrain inflammation

Nitrated fatty acids form membrane biochemical capacitors that restrain inflammation
Endogenous mechanisms that restrain inflammation remain incompletely understood. Colussi et al. identify membrane phospholipids as reservoirs of endogenous nitrated fatty acids that are rapidly mobilized during inflammatory stress. Release of NO2-CLA suppresses inflammatory signaling and preserves vascular homeostasis, revealing a previously unrecognized anti-inflammatory reserve that becomes depleted during disease.

Under some conditions, and I am open to this, this may permit crosstalk with other death machineries, but to the best of my judgement the evidence that it is simply upstream of apoptosis, cathepsin-dependent death, or other canonical programs remains unconvincing
110
Pedro Friedmann Angeli @angelifriedmann.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
But I think we may be moving toward a more nuanced view. “Ferroptosis” could be an umbrella term encompassing distinct organelle membranes, each controlled by distinct enzymatic and non-enzymatic protective systems.
120
Pedro Friedmann Angeli @angelifriedmann.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
In that setting, ferroptosis does not look to me like apoptosis or lysosomal cell death by another route. That is why I have generally felt that placing ferroptosis among the necrotic forms of cell death was a useful approximation.
110
Pedro Friedmann Angeli @angelifriedmann.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
On mechanism, in many genetic screens, we have never seen a convincing contribution from apoptosis, cathepsins, or similar pathways, at least in clean systems where GPX4 inhibition is the initiating event.
110
Pedro Friedmann Angeli @angelifriedmann.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
There is also a "marketing" side to this discussion, it is easier to build attention, legitimacy, and funding around a “cell death pathway” than around a ROS-driven cellular event. That does not make the biology any less important, but I do think the framing has partly been shaped by that dynamic.
130
Pedro Friedmann Angeli @angelifriedmann.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
Is it a distinct cell death pathway? I think that is a fair description, though I’m happy to leave the formal taxonomy to nomenclature-organizing colleagues in the cell death field.
110
Pedro Friedmann Angeli @angelifriedmann.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
😰 good Monday morning exercise 😰 My two cents on this - ferroptosis is best understood as a terminal process that begins once lipid oxidative damage exceeds the cell’s buffering and repair capacity. Does it lead to cell death? Clearly yes.
