Adiposetissue.org: platform to study metabolic diseases Featured

A European research team has developed an adipose tissue portal with molecular and clinical data from more than 6,000 women and men from 67 studies. The researchers want to facilitate research into obesity and metabolic diseases by centralizing and simplifying access to data on adipose tissue.


The portal enables the investigation of various dimensions of fat biology down to the single-cell level.
