Ferroptosis: The Demise of Cells Through Phospholipid Peroxidation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The relative abundance of peroxidation‐resistant monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) vs. peroxidation‐sensitive polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) incorporated into phospholipid (PL) is a key determinant of ferroptosis sensitivity, as the peroxidation of PL PUFA acyl chains (PUFA‐PL) disrupts membrane integrity, causing ferroptotic cell death ...

Accelerating Primary Screening of USP8 Inhibitors from Drug Repurposing Databases with Tree‐Based Machine Learning

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This study introduces a tree‐based machine learning approach to accelerate USP8 inhibitor discovery. The best‐performing model identified 100 high‐confidence repurposable compounds, half already approved or in clinical trials, and uncovered novel scaffolds not previously studied. These findings offer a solid foundation for rapid experimental follow‐up,
