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.

Thanks for sharing our latest work @jexpmed.bsky.social ! We've uncovered that P2RX7 regulates unconventional T cells selectively, particularly subsets that co-produce IFN-γ & IL-4. Hoping this helps more discoveries in the role of these innate-like cells using inhibitors from the P2RX7/ARTC2 field.
