Description

Yue Han and colleagues published a 2026 cancer study tracing how a fat-burning defect in colon tumor cells helps the cancer hide from the immune system. A mitochondrial carrier protein that imports fatty acids for burning was missing or low in the tumor cells. Without it, fatty acids spilled into the tissue around the tumor instead.

That fatty bath drew in a class of immune cells and reprogrammed them to suppress attack, by chemically stabilizing one of their enzymes. Killer immune cells were held back and the tumor grew. Blocking the chemical stabilization step restored immune attack in their experiments, suggesting a new drug target.
