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.
