Description:
CD206 + M2-like macrophages regulate systemic glucose metabolism by inhibiting proliferation of adipocyte progenitors Nature Communications, Published online: 18 August 2017; doi:10.1038/s41467-017-00231-1 Adipose tissue contains macrophages that can influence both local and systemic metabolism via the secretion of cytokines. Here, Nawaz et al. report that M2-like macrophages, present in adipose tissue, create a microenvironment that inhibits proliferation of adipocyte progenitors due to the secretion of TGF-β1
