High-fat diets reprogram liver cells, increasing cancer risk, a new MIT study finds.
A new MIT study finds that long-term high-fat diets reprogram liver cells into a primitive, stem-like state, increasing liver cancer risk.
Chronic metabolic stress from fat overload causes cells to abandon normal functions like metabolism and protein production, instead activating survival mechanisms that make them more vulnerable to cancer-causing mutations.
Using single-cell RNA sequencing in mice, researchers observed that nearly all high-fat diet-fed mice developed liver cancer, with key transcription factors identified as potential therapeutic targets.
The findings explain why fatty liver disease often precedes liver cancer and highlight the profound, lasting biological changes caused by poor diet.
Las dietas altas en grasas reprograman las células del hígado, aumentando el riesgo de cáncer, encuentra un nuevo estudio del MIT.
