Additionally, according to research by Géraldine Luis and colleagues, fatty acid-binding protein-4 in TME which increases the production of lipid droplets in cancer cells, and stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) expressed by cancer cells, cooperatively protects cancer cells from oxidative stress-induced ferroptosis and promotes tumor recurrence [196]. This evidence concerns the gene FABP4 and cancer.
