Scientists Uncover an Unlikely New Weapon Against Cancer: Fat Cells
Our body fat may turn out to be a secret weapon in our everlasting fight against cancer. A new study released this week suggests that fat cells can be engineered into a treatment that literally starves out tumors.
Scientists Just Found a Way to Starve Cancer Using Fat Cells
Scientists at UC San Francisco have pioneered a groundbreaking approach to fighting cancer using engineered fat cells. By transforming ordinary fat into high-energy beige fat using CRISPR, they created a cell type that voraciously consumes nutrients — outcompeting and starving tumors.
How hungry fat cells could someday starve cancer to death
Liposuction and plastic surgery aren't often mentioned in the same breath as cancer. But they are the inspiration for a new approach to treating cancer that uses engineered fat cells to deprive tumors of nutrition.
Starving Cancer: Fat Cells' Potential New Role
Scientists transformed energy-storing white fat cells into calorie-burning 'beige' fat. Once implanted, they outcompeted tumors for resources, beating
CRISPR-Engineered Fat Cells Show Promise in Preclinical Cancer Models
Cancer is rarely discussed alongside liposuction or plastic surgery. However, a groundbreaking approach to cancer treatment is drawing inspiration from these procedures by using engineered fat cells to starve tumors of essential nutrients.
