Webinar Summary
- The cellular effects of dietary fat and high-fat diets
- The role of intestinal epithelial and immune cells
- How dietary perturbations impact immunity against cancer
Obesity is a worldwide epidemic that correlates with increased cancer incidence and immune dysfunction in several tissues such as intestine. There are several life style factors that contribute to risk of obesity and cancer including pro-obesity diets such as high fat diets. In this webinar, we present data from our project, with the overarching goal to systematically evaluate the consequences of diverse dietary fat on the phenotypic and functional status of intestinal epithelial cells, microbiome and immune cells.
