This study shows polyamines buffer labile iron to suppress ferroptosis by linking polyamine metabolism to iron homeostasis through a genome-wide CRISPR screen and fluorescent reporter.

This study shows that ether lipids in cancer cells regulate membrane properties to influence iron uptake, ferroptosis, and metastasis, offering a therapeutic target.

The paper links lower plasma plasmalogen levels to increased risk of lymph node positive breast cancer in humans and mice, showing dietary PUFA depletion promotes cancer survival in lymph nodes.
