Abstract:

Thennogenesis in brown and beige adipose tissue has important roles in countering the development of metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Although much is known about the commitment and activation of brown and beige adipose tissue, its multiple and abundant immunological factors have not been well characterized. This seminar aims to elucidate the novel role of IL-27 in the pathogenesis and treatment of obesity.
