Our immune systems weaken as we get older, making fewer cells that fight infection and help us recover from illness and ...

Lipid metabolism has emerged as a central player in the progression and therapy resistance of breast cancer, particularly the aggressive subtype known as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Researchers have identified that an enzyme involved in lipid metabolism speeds up the immune system changes associated with ...

As a consequence of microenvironmental constraints on fatty acid synthesis, pancreatic cancer cells and tumors are unable to maintain lipid homeostasis when exposed to polyunsaturated fatty acids, ...

New research suggests that decreased activity of ELOVL2 -- a key enzyme in lipid metabolism -- accelerates white blood cell aging and alters genes associated with the onset of blood cancers.

For instance, because polyamines are downstream of arginine and are known to influence lipid metabolism, it would be worth discussing whether these metabolites contribute to the phenotypes observed.
