This was a labor of love requiring lots of teamwork over years, repeating in 3 locations! Thanks to all the lab over the years, giving their time generously to this team project, & our wonderful collaborators. The source of fat matters for anti-tumor immunity 🐄🐖🧈🌴🫒🥥

The source of dietary fat influences anti-tumour immunity in obese mice - Nature Metabolism
This study shows that animal-based high-fat diets accelerate tumour growth and impair anti-tumour response to melanoma in obese mice, whereas plant-based high-fat diets do not.

Ascites-derived Lipid Uptake Drives NK Cell Dysfunction in Ovarian Cancer
Major Finding: Lipids derived from ascites are taken up by NK cells and drive NK cell dysfunction in ovarian cancer.
Concept: Polar lipids such as phosphatidylcholine disrupt NK plasma membrane order ...

Our paper @sciimmunology.bsky.social shows certain lipids are responsible for the immunosupression of ascites & propose blocking lipid uptake thru SCARB1 may help immunotherapy in ovarian cancer. Wonderful to collaborate with Donal Brennan, Marcia Haigis & super postdoc @karen--s.bsky.social
Researchers led by Ludwig Princeton’s @lydialynch.bsky.social report that certain fats in ascites fluid—which accumulates as ovarian cancer spreads from the ovaries into the abdomen—sabotage anti-tumor immune responses and show how this effect might be blocked for immunotherapy. bit.ly/4jGuUtU

First measles death in Texas. Unfortunately, not surprising. Number of cases likely to increase and we may see more deaths. A tragic, preventable death of a school aged child. But the outbreak is called "not so unusual" by RFK. Simply not true. This is both unusual AND preventable. #vaccineswork
