Exogenous lipid uptake induces metabolic and functional reprogramming of tumor-associated myeloid-derived suppressor cells

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) promote tumor growth by blocking anti-tumor T cell responses. Recent reports show that MDSC increase fatty acid uptake and fatty acid oxidation (FAO) to support their immunosuppressive functions. Inhibition of FAO promoted a therapeutic T cell-mediated anti-tu...
