Dennis Wolf Investigates How Visceral Fat Drives Systemic Inflammation
Dennis Wolf, Professor of Cardiovascular Systems Immunology at University of Freiburg, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Which organ drives the highest level of systemic inflammation?
Is adipose tissue inflammation dependent on inflammasomes?
And how can ASC specks act as a “memory” of past tissue inflammation?
We address these questions in our new manuscript just published in Circulation Research.
Title: Externalized Inflammasomes in Visceral Fat Sustain Obesity-Related Inflammation
