New study demonstrates that one particular lipid type is critical for cancer immune evasion.

Modulating intake of dietary lipids could open up an avenue for treatment.

The findings confirm longstanding suspicions that this lipid is a key player in cancer biology (and therefore a key drug target) They also demonstrate that existing FDA -approved medications designed to stunt lipid production can galvanize the immune system against cancer.

Glycosphingolipid synthesis mediates immune evasion in KRAS-driven cancer.

The study was published in the journal Nature , 2024 ; 633 ( 8029 ): 451 .

It is the latest in a long-running series of studies published in Nature journal Nature .
