Adipose biology, cardiovascular, and cardiometabolic disease: novel insights and new targets for intervention

Clin Sci (Lond). 2020 Jun 26;134(12):1473-1474. doi: 10.1042/CS20200816.

Abstract

Adipose biology research has grown rapidly offering new insights into the physiological and pathophysiological roles of different body fat depots. This Thematic Collection of Clinical Science brings a well-rounded timely view of the recent development in this field. We highlight the state of the art on adipose tissue function/dysfunction in the context of cardiovascular and metabolic pathologies.

Keywords: Adipose Biology; Adipose tissue; cardiometabolic disease; cardiovascular disease.
