According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than two in five American adults have obesity, a common and ...

Similarly, in obesity, macrophages can engulf fatty acids and dying adipocytes with voluminous lipid content. This may be useful early on, but it gradually compromises macrophage function ...

“Macrophage-eosinophil interactions are crucial for the immune system’s ability to combat obesity and helminth infections,” said Nair, the five-year grant’s principal investigator.

Obesity increases the frequency of macrophages in tumors and induces their expression of the immune checkpoint protein PD-1—a ...

Research from VIB-UGent identifies lipid-associated macrophages and LAM-like Kupffer cells as critical for liver repair. The ...

It is likely that early macrophage recruitment, seen in moderate obesity, is driven by the adipocytes, hence the strong correlation between ATM and obesity. In fact, unpublished data from our ...

Our livers contain many different types of immune cells. New research by the team of Prof. Charlotte Scott (VIB-UGent Center for Inflammation Research) and colleagues now reveals that a specific ...

Given high rates of global obesity, the World Obesity Federation ... That's due to inflammation driven by immune cells called macrophages which invade our fat tissue. They interfere with how ...
