Commentary on Camell et al., Aging Induces Nlrp3 Inflammasome Dependent Adipose B Cell Expansion to Impair Metabolic Homeostasis

Immunometabolism. 2020;2(2):e200011. doi: 10.20900/immunometab20200011. Epub 2020 Feb 18.

Abstract

The burden of aging and obesity is urging extended investigation into the molecular mechanisms that underlie chronic adipose tissue inflammation. B cell-targeted therapies are emerging as novel tools to modulate the immune system and thereby mitigate aging and obesity-related metabolic complications.

Keywords: B cells; FALC; adipose tissue; aging; inflammation; obesity.
