The omentum is a visceral adipose tissue with unique immune functions. Although it is
primarily an adipose tissue, the omentum also contains lymphoid aggregates, called milky …

The peritoneal cavity is a fluid filled space that holds most of the abdominal organs,
including the omentum, a visceral adipose tissue that contains milky spots or clusters of …

The omentum is of interest in the context of obesity-related metabolic disease where
adipose tissue exhibits inflammatory changes; however, the immunology of the omentum is …

The omentum, an important peritoneal tissue, is studded with a high number of immune
aggregates, or “milky spots,” the number, function, and phenotype of which is largely …

The omentum is a visceral adipose tissue rich in fat-associated lymphoid clusters (FALCs)
that collects peritoneal contaminants and provides a first layer of immunological defense …

The goal of controlling ovarian cancer metastasis formation has elicited considerable
interest in identifying the tissue microenvironments involved in cancer cell colonization of the …

The omentum is a site of B1 cell lymphopoiesis and immune responsiveness to T cell-
independent antigens. However, it is unknown whether it supports immune responses …

Ovarian cancer preferentially metastasizes to the omentum, a fatty tissue characterized by
immune structures called milky spots, but the cellular dynamics that direct this tropism are …

The peritoneum defines a confined microenvironment, which is stable under normal
conditions, but is exposed to the damaging effect of infections, surgical injuries, and other …

Experimental and clinical evidence suggests that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs)
play important roles in cancer progression. Here, we have characterized the ontogeny and …
