Understanding the role of lipid metabolism in colorectal cancer reveals a path to therapies that could turn chronic inflammation into an opportunity for cancer resolution. Study: Integration of ...

Scientists have long known that cancer cells alter lipid metabolism, but it was generally assumed that cancer cells were gobbling up these lipids for energy—consuming the fatty molecules to help ...

This paper presents the important discovery that lipid metabolic imbalance caused by Snail, an EMT-related transcription factor, contributes to the acquisition of chemoresistance in cancer cells.
