Chronic obesity does not alter cancer incidence in Tp53R270H/+ mice

Ilaria Panzeri, Zachary Madaj, Luca Fagnocchi…·John Andrew Pospisilik

This study shows chronic high-fat diet-induced obesity does not increase cancer incidence in Trp53R270H/+ mice, despite significant obesity and long-term adiposity differences.

Ilaria Panzeri, Luca Fagnocchi, Stefanos Apostle…·John Andrew Pospisilik

The paper shows that early life epigenetic variation can prime cancer-susceptibility states that persist into adulthood and correlate with poor prognosis in human cancers.
