Scientists Find a Key Link Between Obesity, Inflammation, and T2D
New research has uncovered a biological “switch” that turns on inflammation in people with obesity. Chronic inflammation is a major contributor to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
By understanding how this switch works, scientists may be able to develop treatments that target inflammation directly, rather than focusing only on blood sugar control.
Why it matters: This could lead to new therapies that address the root causes of type 2 diabetes.
