Link Between Blood Vessel Cells and Chronic Inflammation of Obesity by Colleen Fleiss on January 3, 2021 at 2:07 PM In mice, a new type of cell responsible for triggering chronic, low-level inflammation in fat tissue has been discovered by UT Southwestern scientists. Their findings, published in Nature Metabolism, could eventually lead to new ways to treat obesity. "The inflammation of fat cells in obese individuals is linked to many of the comorbidities we associate with being overweight - cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and infection," says study leader Rana Gupta, Ph....
