I'm excited to share our latest story from the @lydiafinley.bsky.social lab, where we show that it's not just whether cells take up nutrients that matters, but how and where those metabolites are used. Out now in @naturemetabolism.bsky.social: rdcu.be/ejFTs 1/

Big congratulations to Shauni Loopmans for her excellent PhD research, now online in @natmetabolism.bsky.social. This study reveals that the pentose phosphate pathway in #chondrocytes is crucial for ER redox homeostasis and cell survival rdcu.be/d5Q65 (1/3)

The pentose phosphate pathway controls oxidative protein folding and prevents ferroptosis in chondrocytes
Nature Metabolism - Loopmans et al. show that the pentose phosphate pathway in chondrocytes provides reducing power to ensure proteostasis necessary for bone lengthening.
