Obesity is marked by excessive lipid accumulation, leading to chronic inflammation in adipose tissue (AT), due to an increase in inflammatory immune cells causing insulin resistance and fat accumulation in other organs like the liver. This project focuses on the role of the immunomodulatory CD83 molecule in in lipid metabolism and obesity-related immune regulation in AT and the liver, potentially providing insights for new therapeutic strategies against obesity.
