Researchers have provided mechanistic evidence linking a high-fat diet to increased cancer metastasis by measuring the precise impact of fats on cancer cells using coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy and a laser-based tool called intravital flow cytometry. Ji-Xin Cheng, who led the investigative team at Purdue University said that, for more than 30 years, doctors have observed a strong correlation between lipid-rich tumor biopsies from cancer patients and aggressive clinical cancer behaviors, including early death. Cheng, an assistant professor of biomedical...Read full article
