Liver cancer cells use fatty acids to evade the immune system

New research from Vietnam suggests that liver cancer cells use fatty acids to hide from the immune system. The cells would do this by changing the expression of certain proteins, making them less recognizable to immune cells.

The discovery could lead to new treatment methods aimed at disrupting this process. Previous research has already shown that fatty acid metabolism plays an important role in cancer, but the exact mechanism is not yet fully understood.

The results have been published in a scientific publication but must still be confirmed by independent research. If the findings prove correct, it would provide new insight into how cancer cells survive in the body.
