Hyperlipidemia drives tumor growth in a mouse model of obesity-accelerated breast cancer growth.

Obesity is an established risk factor for breast cancer (BC), yet the specific mechanisms driving this association remain unclear. Dysregulated lipid metabolism has emerged as a key factor in cancer cell biology. While obesity is often accompanied by hyperlipidemia, the isolated impact of elevated lipid levels on BC growth has not been experimentally tested.

"When I became older, I started having to manage that more myself"-Experiences of adolescents with food allergies: A qualitative study.

Background: It's often caregivers or healthcare professionals' experiences that are studied in the field of allergy, but the adolescents' perspective is crucial to develop interventions that support them in areas they find most challenging. This study aims to explore adolescents' experience of managing food allergies, particularly how they navigate the transition from parental management to self-management.

Methods: This is an interpretive descriptive qualitative study.

Isolation and Culturing of Primary Murine Adipocytes from Lean and Obese Mice.

Adipose tissue is primarily composed of mature, lipid-laden adipocytes by volume. These postmitotic cells play a critical role in energy storage and mobilization, thermoregulation, and the secretion of endocrine factors. The expansion of white adipose tissue due to caloric imbalance results in both the enlargement of existing adipocytes and the generation of additional adipocytes from adipocyte progenitor cells.
