Fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling modulates cholesterol storage in a SOAT1-dependent manner to promote mammary tumor cell invasion [PDF]
Signaling by fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) is active in up to 85% of breast cancers and results in enhanced proliferation, migration, and invasion of tumor cells.

N4-acetylcytidine-mediated SOAT1 upregulation aggravates heart failure by inducing NCOA4-dependent ferroautophagy and ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes [PDF]
Heart failure (HF) remains a critical global health challenge, with accumulating evidence implicating iron metabolism dysregulation through ferritinophagy activation in disease progression.

Lipid Metabolism in Glioblastoma: From De Novo Synthesis to Storage
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most lethal primary brain tumor. With limited therapeutic options, novel therapies are desperately needed. Recent studies have shown that GBM acquires large amounts of lipids for rapid growth through activation of sterol ...
