Sustained Ion Imbalances Enhance Ferroptosis

Ali Yasin Sonay, Elana Apfelbaum, Nermin Mustafa, Jan Grimm

This study identifies ion imbalances as a factor in ferroptosis, showing that modulators of ion channels can enhance ferroptotic cell death and reduce tumor growth.

ENHANCING TUMOR PERFUSION AND NANOMEDICINE DELIVERY VIA ENDOGENOUS NITRIC OXIDE RELEASE BY METHYL PALMITATE NANOPARTICLES

Roberto Palomba, Elizabeth L. Isaac, Raffaele Spanò, Federica Piccardi, Benedict Mc Larney, Elana Apfelbaum, Nermin Mostafa, Charlene Hsu, Jan Grimm, Paolo Decuzzi

This study shows that methyl palmitate nanoparticles enhance tumor perfusion and nanomedicine delivery by inducing vasodilation and reducing phagocytosis.

In vivo imaging of ferroptosis through nanodynamic changes in lipid membranes

Ali Yasin Sonay, Elana Apfelbaum, Benedict Mc Larney, Jan Grimm

The paper identifies phosphatidyl serine exposure as a marker for imaging ferroptosis and demonstrates that the dye CJ215 can label ferroptotic cells in vitro and in vivo.
