Description

A large team of co-authors wrote a review dated two thousand twenty-six on how the body handles fatty acids, in health and in cancer. Fat handling supports energy supply, cell structure, and signaling. When the tightly run network breaks down, disease follows, and cancer is the clearest case.

The review traces how different cell types adjust their fat use inside inflamed or tumor-filled tissue. Some cells exploit fat pathways to survive or to quiet immune attack. The same breakdown also feeds diabetes, heart disease, and brain disease. The authors gather recent findings on control points and disease-specific fat signatures, and point to drug and gene therapy openings.
