Linoleic acid is the most abundant polyunsaturated fatty acid in the Western-style diet and has been implicated in promoting inflammation and cancer. In Science, researchers report a mechanism by which linoleic acid can activate the mTORC1 protein kinase, which coordinates growth and nutrient signals.

“Antibiotics aren’t just important tools in a #publichealth emergency, they’re also vital to our country’s national security”. Great initiative by @pewtrusts, spotlighting the need to combat antibiotic resistance and to include the #PASTEURAct in PAHPA reauthorization.
