This is wild! Scientists used liposuction to suck out ordinary white fat cells...then used CRISPR to turn into “beige” fat cells, which voraciously consume calories to make heat. Then, they implanted them near tumors the way plastic surgeons inject fat from one part of the body to plump up another. The fat cells scarfed up all the nutrients, starving most of the tumor cells to death. These cells wiped out breast, colon, pancreatic, and prostate cancers by depleting shared resources. They even used patient fat from mastectomies to target their own breast cancer. Why Fat?: Easy to harvest (liposuction), edit, and reimplant safely – biocompatible, no migration risks.
