Abstract excerpt
Reciprocal communication between adipocytes and immune cells is essential to maintain optimal adipose tissue (AT) functionality. Amongst others, adipocytes directly interact with invariant NKT cells (iNKT cells), which in turn secrete various cytokines. A lipid-rich microenvironment, as observed in obesity, skews this adipocyte-driven cytokine output towards a more inflammatory output. Whether a lipid-rich...
