Researcher at Washington University School of Medicine Publishes Research in Fatty Acid Desaturases (Loss of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 2 disrupts inflammatory response in macrophages).

To assess the functional relevance of SCD2 in the macrophage response to infection, we challenged SCD2-deficient macrophages with uropathogenic Escherichia coli and found that there was impaired clearance of intracellular bacteria.
