@KeshariLab @MSKCancerCenter @GSKGradSchool engineered CD8+ T cells & CAR T cells to express the fructose-specific transporter GLUT5, to improve T cell glycolytic flux & thus effector function in glucose-limited conditions.

@ECoffeeMD @KeshariLab Yay! Thank you Elizabeth for capturing the moment and being a great rotation mentor! Wow that was almost 2 years ago, time flies!

Research led by @KeshariLab, a biochemist and bioengineer at MSK, found that immune cells might be reprogrammed to use the body’s fructose — a naturally occurring sugar — as an energy source that supercharges them to fight cancer.

Learn more about this research and its potential application that goes beyond just immune cells. https://t.co/X2AOwGEyUX
