研究表明,乳腺癌肿瘤使用脂肪细胞作为能源来源,将肥胖症与癌症风险增加联系起来。 Study reveals breast cancer tumors use fat cells as energy source, linking obesity to increased cancer risk.

对自然通信的一项新研究表明,乳腺癌肿瘤能够从附近的脂肪细胞中获取食物,这有可能解释肥胖增加了乳腺癌风险的原因。 A new study in Nature Communications shows that breast cancer tumors can feed off nearby fat cells, potentially explaining why obesity increases breast cancer risk. 侵袭性癌症细胞使用一种“原始式”结构来获取和消耗脂肪细胞的脂质以获得能量。 Aggressive cancer cells use a "straw-like" structure to access and consume the fat cells' lipids for energy. 阻断这一进程可能导致新治疗具有攻击性的乳腺癌形式,如三联阴性乳腺癌,并强调保持健康体重以减少癌症风险的重要性。 Blocking this process could lead to new treatments for aggressive forms of breast cancer, like triple-negative, and highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy weight to reduce cancer risk.
