📣 Delighted to share our latest study from the @lynchielydia lab published in Nature Metabolism. Here we show that the source of dietary fat plays a critical role in determining anti-tumour immune functions in obesity. – at Ireland

🚨🚨So happy to share the latest from @lynchielydia lab in @NatMetabolism. Here we show that the source of dietary fat changes the ability of immune cells to combat tumor growth in obesity and that some fats (🥥🌴🫒) might better support anti-tumor function.

My name is Bernard, living in Ireland. I have stage 4 stomach cancer. My medical consultants recommend Immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Despite best scientific and clinical evidence, my Irish healthcare insurer won't fund this. Am I alone?
