FABP4: A New Player in Obesity-Associated Breast Cancer

Obesity is known to increase breast cancer incidence and mortality, but the underlying mechanisms remain unsolved. Recent studies demonstrate that adipose fatty acid binding protein (FABP4) promotes obesity-associated breast cancer development, thus suggesting FABP4 as a novel player linking obesity and breast cancer risk.
