Probing the Link between Fat and Cancer
A group of researchers from Purdue University (West Lafayette, Ind., U.S.A.) have used nonlinear optical microscopy to assess the effects of fatty acids on cancer cells in mice.
Researchers have long believed that fat and cancer are related, but it’s not clear how and why high-fat diets may cause cancer to spread. A group of researchers from Purdue University (West Lafayette, Ind., U.S.A.) have used nonlinear optical microscopy to assess the effects of fatty acids on cancer cells in mice (BMC Cancer 9, 42).
