The immunology of obesity

Type 2 diabetes has long been thought of as primarily a metabolic disease. A series of recent studies have challenged this dogma and implicated an unlikely candidate system in the promotion of disease onset - the immune system. Mild inflammation of fat tissue in obese patients reportedly acts through immune-cell processes to impair insulin signalling in adipocytes. This work therefore provides a novel way of understanding the link between obesity and type 2 diabetes.
