NEW CANCER RESEARCH AT SALK
For cancer to grow and spread, it has to evade detection by immune cells, called “killer” T cells. Salk researchers led by Professor Susan Kaech of Del Mar at the Salk Institute of Biological Studies in La Jolla, are finding the environment inside tumors contains an abundance of oxidized fat molecules, which, when ingested by the killer T cells, suppresses their ability to kill cancer cells. The discovery, published online in Immunity on June 7, 2021, suggests new pathways for safeguarding the immune system’s ability to fight cancer by reducing the oxidative lipid damage in killer T cells.
