Close relationships have been demonstrated between adipose tissue and the
inflammatory/immune system. Furthermore, obesity is increasingly considered as a state of …

Objective This review will focus on the immunological aspects of adipose tissue and its
potential role in development of chronic inflammation that instigates obesity‐associated …

Obesity is associated with a wide range of complications, including type 2 diabetes mellitus,
cardiovascular disease, hypertension and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Obesity also …

Macrophages form a heterogeneous group of hematopoietic cells that reside in tissues,
where they are required to maintain organ integrity. Tissue macrophages contribute to tissue …

Inflammation generally leads to recruitment of monocyte-derived macrophages. What
regulates the fate of these cells and to what extent they can assume the identity and function …

For decades, it has been known that the serous cavities, which include the peritoneal,
pleural and pericardial cavities, harbour large numbers of macrophages. In particular, due to …

The tumor-adipose microenvironment (TAME) is a universal microecosystem, that is
characterized by the dysfunction of lipid metabolism, such as excessive free fatty acids …

Adipose tissue is a special tissue environment due to its high lipid content. Adipose tissue
macrophages (ATMs) help maintain adipose tissue homeostasis in steady state by clearing …

Adipose tissue provides the body with a storage depot of nutrients that is drained during
times of starvation and replenished when food sources are abundant. As such, it is the …

Macrophages reside in the body cavities where they maintain serosal homeostasis and
provide immune surveillance. Peritoneal macrophages are implicated in the etiology of …
