Researchers Uncover Link Between Omega 6 Fatty Acid and Aggressive Breast CancerLinoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid enhanced ...

A new study has found that a type of fat commonly found in seed oils and animal products may help a dangerous form of breast cancer grow faster. The fat, called linoleic acid, is an omega-6 fatty acid ...

Estela Jacinto, a professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, has been ...

In the study, published March 14 in Science, the researchers found that linoleic acid can activate a major growth pathway in tumor cells by binding to a protein called FABP5. Comparing breast ...

This activation depends on a protein called FABP5, which acts as a lipid chaperone. When omega-6 linoleic acid binds to FABP5, it activates mTORC1, which then drives cell growth and proliferation.
