Adipose tissue is a dynamic, heterogeneous organ that integrates metabolic, immune, and endocrine functions. This session will highlight discoveries from single-cell and multi-omic studies revealing how adipose composition changes across the lifespan and during weight loss. Speakers will discuss novel adipocyte and stromal cell subtypes, the diverse roles of macrophages and B-cells in inflammation and tissue repair, and insights from the adipose secretome that redefine fat as a central metabolic regulator. Together, these talks provide a multidimensional view of adipose biology and identify emerging therapeutic targets for obesity and metabolic disease.
