Unsaturated Fatty Acids Stimulate Tumor Growth through Stabilization of β-Catenin
Some cancer cells exhibit elevated levels of free fatty acids (FAs) as well as high levels of β-catenin, a transcriptional co-activator that promotes their growth. Here, we link these two phenomena by showing that unsaturated FAs inhibit degradation of β-catenin. Unsaturated FAs bind to the UAS doma...
