Jan. 9, 2024—We have identified a unique monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) which fuels dysplastic cell hyperproliferation and survival. Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1), a catalytic enzyme in the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, is specifically upregulated in the transitioning area from metaplasia to dysplasia and strongly expressed in human gastric patient tissues with dysplasia and adenocarcinoma. In this...
