Through single-cell and single-nucleus approaches it became clear\, that virtually every cell type within adipose tissue\, adipocytes\, progenitor cells\, stromal cells is far more heterogeneous than previously appreciated\, and that specific subpopulations\, rather than bulk tissue properties\, are the drivers of metabolic health and disease.A recurring theme in this work is that the critical heterogeneity is often found where you least expect it. Recent work on mesothelium\, the serosal lining of visceral fat\, classically regarded as a passive barrier shows that this is a highly plastic population organised along a transition continuum\, and that the balance of its states tracks metabolic health independently of adiposity. Its transition toward a myofibroblast-like phenotype emerges as a key cellular mechanism linking visceral obesity to tissue fibrosis and dysfunction.Taken together\, these findings argue that to understand why some individuals with obesity remain metabolically healthy while others do not\, we need to move beyond adipocyte-centric models and map the full cellular ecosystem of the tissue\, including its periphery.&\;nbsp\;“Adipose tissue heterogeneity and metabolic health”Prof. Christian WolfrumNanyang Technological University - Singapore&\;nbsp\;Date: 2nd September 2026Time: 16:00&\;nbsp\;Place: Eva &\;amp\; Georg Klein lecture hall\, Biomedicum\, Solnavägen 9\, Solna.&\;nbsp\;Host: Prof. Kirsty Spalding (kirsty.spalding@ki.se)&\;nbsp\;&\;nbsp\;\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/srp-diabetes-seminar-adipose-tissue-heterogeneity-and-metabolic-health-with-christian-wolfrum CREATED:20260709T121258Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260710T092821Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:SRP Diabetes Seminar: “Adipose tissue heterogeneity and metabolic health” with Christian Wolfrum END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261112T070000Z DTEND:20261113T111500Z DTSTAMP:20260712T052516Z UID:235660 DESCRIPTION:To strengthen and promote translational research collaborations between basic science and clinical research\, Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital jointly with Flemingsberg Science Foundation arrange the conference Collaboration in Science at Campus Flemingsberg. \r\n\r\nDo you want to learn more about what research your colleagues are working on and what services the core facilities offer?Welcome to Collaboration in Science 2026\, November 12-13!Karolinska Institutet Campus South and Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge arrange for the third time - on request - &\;nbsp\;a research conference to stimulate collaboration and spread knowledge on experimental\, translational and clinical research within the Flemingsberg area.&\;nbsp\;In collaboration with Center for Innovative medicine\, CIMED and Flemingsberg Science Foundation.Register via this link before October 23No registration fee!
