Researchers at Joslin Diabetes Center now have pinpointed a
major inflammatory role for «natural killer» (NK)
immune cells in abdominal fat — a
type of tissue strongly implicated in insulin resistance.
Examining the genomic and epigenetic makeup of
major types of
immune cells from nearly 200 blood donors in the U.K., IHEC researchers found that genetics explain most of the epigenetic variation among individuals.
