Fatty Acid Synthase inhibition engages a novel caspase-2 regulatory mechanism to induce ovarian cancer cell death

Blockade of fatty acid synthase (FASN), a key enzyme involved in de novo lipogenesis, results in robust death of ovarian cancer cells. However, known FASN inhibitors have proven to be poor therapeutic agents due to their ability to induce cachexia. Therefore, we sought to identify additional targets...
