Explore Prof. Rydén's pioneering research into the biology of white adipose tissue, and how it shapes the development and progression of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Learn about:

• How different adipocyte subtypes affect treatment response
• The discovery that fat cells are continuously renewed in adults
• The role of inflammation and "stale lipids" in metabolic dysfunction
• Why adipose tissue composition may drive the success of glucose-lowering therapies and bariatric surgery
