CRISPR-Engineered Fat Cells Suppress Tumors in Preclinical Cancer Models
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco have engineered fat cells that starve cancer tumors by consuming nutrients, according to a study published February 4 in Nature Biotechnology. The team used CRISPR to convert white fat cells into beige fat cells that burn calories. When implanted near tumors in mice, they suppressed the growth […]
UCSF CRISPR Tech Turns Fat Cells into Tumor-Starving Weapons in Mice
Fat’s Voracious Counterattack: How Engineered Cells Are Poised to Starve Out Cancer In the relentless battle against cancer, researchers are turning to an unlikely ally: fat cells. Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have pioneered a groundbreaking approach that transforms ordinary fat cells into nutrient-gobbling powerhouses capable of depriving tumors of essential resources. This innovative strategy, detailed in a …
Liposuction is one of the most aesthetic surgeries performed in the world and, a priori, it does not seem to have anything to do with cancer, but a new technique that converts white fat into brown fat could end up relating them, for good.
