Background <p>Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) is a key enzyme in fatty acid (FA) metabolism that catalyzes the addition of a cis double bond to palmitic and stearic saturated FAs, producing palmitoleic and oleic monounsaturated FAs, respectively. Interleukin (IL)9-secreting CD4<sup>+</sup> T-helper lymphocytes (Th9) exert antitumoral activity in preclinical cancer models. In the present study, we evaluated the role of SCD1 in…
