Fat chance: not much against NKT cells
Abstract
Obesity-induced inflammation contributes to multiple metabolic diseases. In this issue of Immunity, Lynch et al. (2012) show that invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are enriched in adipose tissue and induce anti-inflammatory pathways to confer protection against obesity.
