Abstract
A recent study published in Nature Cell Biology by Zhang et al. has uncovered a critical role for O-GlcNAcylation in sensing and regulating ferroptosis.1 Ferroptosis-induced ROS promotes OGT-mediated FOXK2 O-GlcNAcylation, driving its nuclear translocation to upregulate SLC7A11 and suppress cell death. This axis fuels HCC progression and therapy resistance, highlighting its therapeutic potential.

期刊介绍:
Cell Chemical Biology, a Cell Press journal established in 1994 as Chemistry & Biology, focuses on publishing crucial advances in chemical biology research with broad appeal to our diverse community, spanning basic scientists to clinicians. Pioneering investigations at the chemistry-biology interface, the journal fosters collaboration between these disciplines. We encourage submissions providing significant conceptual advancements of broad interest across chemical, biological, clinical, and related fields. Particularly sought are articles utilizing chemical tools to perturb, visualize, and measure biological systems, offering unique insights into molecular mechanisms, disease biology, and therapeutics.
