Abstract

Adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) have important roles in the regulation of inflammatory responses and insulin resistance in obesity. A new study reports that a subpopulation of ATMs, TIM4+ resident ATMs, modulate adipocyte size via platelet-derived growth factor-CC production during development and diet-induced adipose tissue expansion.
