Abstract

A new study has added loss of CD4(+) Tcells caused by aberrant lipid metabolism to the list of mechanisms promoting nonalcoholic steatohepatitis progression to liver cancer (Ma etal., 2016). Exposure of CD4(+) Tcells to free linoleic acid causes their ROS-mediated depletion, thereby favoring liver cancer growth.
