Mechanistic links between diet, lipid metabolism, and tumor growth and progression (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The grant entitled "Mechanistic links between diet, lipid metabolism, and tumor growth and progression" (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) is calling for applications that aim to delve deeper into the intricate connection between what we eat, how our bodies manage fats, and the development and escalation of cancer. The grant is aimed at facilitating key, groundbreaking studies intended to identify and illustrate the profound influence of fat metabolism in guiding the expansion and severity of tumors. The grant's focus is to underline the integral function lipids have in forming a connection between our dietary habits and the biology of cancer. This program is also intended to create a link between the historically separate fields of nutrition and molecular metabolism. Further, the grant seeks to encourage research and development of new tools in this novel and promising area of study which is often overlooked due to the intricate nature of fat biochemistry.
