Our new paper in @NatImmunol explores this question through PPARδ, a lipid-sensing transcription factor that we identify as a regulator of the #fitness balance between #cancer and #immune cells. You can read the open access paper here: nature.com/articles/s41590-0…

Hear from Dr. Beyaz himself about the hidden force his team has been studying!
What makes a power #good or #evil? Questions of power, purpose, and restraint run through ancient philosophy and modern storytelling. In #StarWars, the #Force can serve the light or the #darkside. Even those fighting for good can lose control of the power they wield.

CSHL Assistant Professor Semir Beyaz says PPARD (a gene that helps regulate how cells use energy by switching other genes on and off) is like “the force” from #StarWars.
It can promote disease, like Darth Vader carrying out the will of the Emperor. Or, like Anakin Skywalker, it can see the light and kill the disease. It’s not science fiction!
See how research from the @beyazlab could point to new treatment strategies for #ColorectalCancer and #endometriosis among other conditions.
