RSL3 suppresses spheroid formation and viability, and halts migration of PTC cells in vitro We postulated that the RSL3-mediated suppression of thyroid tumor cell viability is a ferroptosis pathway-dependent process, therefore, we treated K1 cells with a lethal dose of RSL3 alone and in the presence of either a ferroptosis inhibitor Fer1, or a pan caspase inhibitor, Z-VAD-FMK (ZVAD) and measured cell viability

What's happening beneath the skin: melanocyte MC1R receptors are saturating, tyrosinase transcription is ramping up, and melanosomes (melanin-containing organelles) are beginning to transfer into surrounding keratinocytes
In animal-model work, NNMT inhibition with 5-Amino-1MQ has been associated with changes in adipose-tissue mass, in NAD+ pool sizes (because NNMT consumes nicotinamide that would otherwise feed the NAD+ salvage pathway), and in methyl-donor dynamics (because NNMT consumes S-adenosylmethionine)
