Grant Activity:
Understanding the biology of adipose tissue regulatory T cells to treat metabolic disease
Purpose:
Our lab has identified a unique population of immune cell found in abdominal fat (Tregs) that functions to regulate glucose metabolism and are anti-inflammatory. In this proposal we aim to characterize the genes and signals found in fat that influence the function of these cells and understand how these signals differ between sexes. We also aim to understand how Tregs communicate with other cells found in fat, which will help us formulate new therapies for obesity and metabolic diseases.
