🚨🚨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.

[Ludwig Cancer @Ludwig_Cancer]

Researchers led by Ludwig @Princeton's @lynchielydia have discovered that in obese people, who are at high risk for many cancers, a diet rich in animal fats—but not plant-derived fats—suppresses antitumor immunity and promotes cancer progression. https://t.co/lqSWyNFj5f

I’m so grateful to my co-author @HannahPrendevil, mentor @lynchielydia, and all of our talented colleagues and collaborators whose ideas and hard work helped this work along, especially @Claire_McIn and @AyantuTemesgen.

This means that dietary changes could be a new way to support cancer treatment in people with obesity or help prevent development of obesity-related cancers 🍽️🍽️

@HannahPrendevil @lynchielydia Also! I couldn’t have done this research without my fellowship from @NIDDKgov. @NIH funding makes discoveries like ours possible 🔬👩🏻‍🔬🧫

[2/3] @britta_phd @HannahPrendevil @lynchielydia show HFD composed of butter but not palm oil inhibits NK & CD8 T cell antitumor immunity via immunosuppressive long-chain acylcarnitine species that impair glycolysis & reduced OXPHOS

I think “cancer researcher” is actually a real job

So proud of my brilliant colleagues @Akaron0884 @BrennethS 🤗🤗

[Aaron Douglas @Akaron0884]

Super excited to share my PhD work, out now in @Nature. Here, myself, @lynchielydia, and all my wonderful co-authors explored the link between circadian rhythms, energy homeostasis and innate T cell function.

Delighted to share our paper on adipose gd T cells making IL-17 every night for homeostasis, coordinating lipid metabolism after eating @Nature Huge effort by
@Akaron0884 & @BrennethS and the team and collaborators to work this out. Aaron's Tweetorial 👇

Our lab is looking for a research technician to join our friendly and diverse team working on immunometabolism. Ad to follow with more details. If you’re interested in cellular or systemic metabolism (or Neuroimmunometabolism) please get in touch

The best time with the best people - great science and fun (and dancing thanks to Jaclyn) at the campfire to end the retreat this year. Photos by @CathalHarmon

Being an excellent scientist is not a requirement for calling out harassment, abuse, or bad takes. Attitudes like this are one reason why trainees don’t speak up.
