Visualized macrophage dynamics and significance of S100A8 in obese fat (Masaru ISHII in PNAS)

PRESS RELEASE

Masaru Ishii and his group applied an intravital multiphoton imaging technique to adipose tissue with lysozyme M-EGFP transgenic (LysMEGFP) mice whose EGFP was expressed in the myelomonocytic lineage. Mobility of LysMEGFP-positive macrophages was activated just 5 d after high-fat and high-sucrose (HF/HS) diet before the development of obesity.
