Over the last century, research has helped improve the
early detection and treatment of serious diseases. But
future progress is at risk unless we continue federal
funding for medical research.

Super excited to share our newest story! We found that despite their well-known reliance on glucose, neutrophils also like lipids! Lipid uptake is induced by immune signals, and we think this is important in atherosclerosis and other lipotoxic metabolic diseases!
