Weight loss wipes out senescent fat cells but leaves immune scars, study finds

Researchers have mapped human fat tissue at single-cell resolution, uncovering how obesity alters cellular stress, inflammation, and tissue structure. Weight loss reverses much of this damage, especially senescence in fat and vascular cells, but leaves some immune dysfunction behind.
