Macrophage-inducible C-type lectin underlies obesity-induced adipose tissue fibrosis
2014
The protein Mincle can sense pathogens and molecules associated with cell death. Here the authors show that Mincle expressed in macrophages is a mediator of obesity-induced fibrosis and inflammation of adipose tissue, and that Mincle knockout mice are protected from diet-induced metabolic dysfunction.
