Professor Alan R. Saltiel will present his latest research on how immune-adipocyte interactions regulate metabolism under conditions of both caloric excess and restriction. His work reveals that sympathetic activation and overnutrition both trigger immune cell recruitment to adipose tissue, leading to inflammatory signaling that suppresses energy expenditure.
