Research gap analysis derived from 2 biology papers in our local library.

The gap

The role of ACC1-regulated fatty acid metabolism in modulating T cell and macrophage immune function has not been investigated in herbicide-exposed populations; functional studies combining lipid metabolomics, immune cell phenotyping, and inflammatory cytokine profiling are needed in occupationally and dietary-exposed cohorts.; Little is known about non-performance outcomes such as cognition, immune function or fatigue in athletic cohorts
