Description

Yuanyuan Feng leads a team of ten authors in 2025 in tracing how fat chemistry gone wrong helps a throat cancer spread to bone while hiding from the immune system. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma that reaches bone resists treatment and kills, and tumor metabolites were suspected of coaching that spread.

Their multi-layer analysis found the bone tumors oddly empty of immune cells. One enzyme, sphingosine kinase 1, stood out as a driver: it produces a fat signal that both pushes metastasis and keeps immune cells out. Naming that mediator gives drug developers a target where metabolism and immunity meet.
