Tumor cell-adipocyte gap junctions activate lipolysis and contribute to breast tumorigenesis

Abstract A pro-tumorigenic role for adipocytes has been identified in breast cancer, and reliance on fatty acid catabolism found in aggressive tumors. The molecular mechanisms by which tumor cells coopt neighboring adipocytes, however, remain incompletely understood. Here, we describe a direct inter...
