Fatty acids promote immune suppression and therapy resistance in triple negative breast cancer, Baylor Medicine study finds

A study published in the journal Immunity reveals a mechanism that allows triple negative breast cancer to develop resistance to therapy. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine showed that lipid accumulation in tumor cells and nearby immune cells promotes immune suppression, but disrupting lipid formulation reverses treatment resistance and the immunosuppressive microenvironment.
