Back from two great days at the 6th Workshop of the #SIB #BiochimicaDeiTumori! It was a great opportunity to connect with colleagues doing exciting cancer research while presenting my poster! A huge shout-out to Maria Poles for winning the Best Poster Award! 🏆🎉 Congrats Maria! So well deserved!💪🏻

New study from the lab 🧵 1/ Pancreatic cancer is metabolically rewired and immunosuppressive. We asked: can targeting metabolism trigger immunogenic cell death (ICD) to boost anti-tumor immunity? Key twist: ferroptosis shows ICD signals in vitro, but is largely tumor-protective in vivo rdcu.be/fc55T

Targeting PIKfyve-driven lipid metabolism in pancreatic cancer - Nature
A study of human and mouse models of pancreatic cancer finds that inhibiting the lipid kinase PIKfyve interferes with the cancer’s lipid homeostasis, making it a potential target for drug development.

ONLINE NOW! Subcellular mitochondrial heterogeneity enables opposing metabolic demands, by @brandontwchen.bsky.social, Yatrik Shah and @lyssiotislab.bsky.social, discussing the recent work by @keunwooryu.bsky.social et al. Read it for free until March 19th at: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kWLq3jDgW...
(A) Oxidative mitochondria, in red, retain cristae to house the electron transport chain, comprising complexes CI, CII, CIII, CIV, and CV. Glutamine metabolism in the oxidative tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle fuels ATP synthesis. Oxidative mitochondria can be identified by the retention of CV expression. Reductive mitochondria, in blue, lose cristae and use reducing potential to drive reductive ornithine and proline biosynthesis from glutamine. Reductive mitochondria distinctly present with pyrroline-5-carboxylase synthase (P5CS) filaments. (B) Reductive mitochondria in which P5CS has been oligomerized into filaments are sequestered via mitochondrial fission, a process that can be mediated by dynamin-like protein 1 (DRP1). Mitochondrial fusion sequesters oxidative mitochondria. This process can be driven by mitofusin 1 and 2 (MFN1/2).
