Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

Mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) is a major catabolic process that degrades long-chain fatty acids. Recent reports reveal a broad role for FAO in cell fate control in endothelial cells, immune cells, and cancer cells. Concurrently, unique molecular pathways influenced by FAO have been identified that alter cell fate decisions.
