[Nature Reviews Nephrology] In self-limiting inflammation, the evolving inflammatory response is coupled to distinct processes that promote the resolution of inflammation and restore homeostasis.

[Cell Metabolism] Researchers exploited the power of a visceral adipose tissue (VAT)-Treg TCR-transgenic mouse model to follow the dynamics of, and phenotypic changes in, the VAT-Treg population throughout the development of diet-induced obesity.

[Journal of Clinical Investigation] Because the environmental and lifestyle factors that impact CSC populations are not clear, scientists sought to understand the consequences of diet on CSC enrichment.
