SCD and cancer: Notably, the inhibition of key enzymes involved in lipogenic pathways, such as stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), fatty acid synthase (FASn), and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), has been linked to a reduced presence and proliferation of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are critical for tumor growth and progression, in both in vitro and in vivo models (40, 41).
