Grant Activity:
Macrophage-driven lipid metabolism in health and disease – mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities
Purpose:
Macrophages are cells of the immune system that are abundant in every organ. We discovered that treating animals with a macrophage growth factor, Colony Stimulating Factor 1 (CSF1), reduces body fat mass and increases lean mass. This indicates that macrophages responding to CSF1 influence the cross-talk between metabolic tissues that controls energy metabolism and body composition. In this project we will investigate how this occurs and test CSF1 as a therapy for obesity-related complications.
