Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, obesity is defined as a chronic, complex disease characterized by excessive fat deposits. The prevalence of obesity and obesity-associated conditions has continued to increase over the last few decades, negatively impacting societies and economies. Obesity and its associated chronic diseases can also affect quality of life and lead to increased mortality, primarily due to cardiovascular diseases and malignancies. Dysfunctional expanded adipose tissue has been shown to play a pivotal role in obesity-related pathology development. Consequently, a main research priority in obesity is the development of new therapeutic tools targeting the dysfunctional adipose tissue that occurs in patients who are obese.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for updated studies on obesity and obesity-related pathologies, ranging from diabetes mellitus, depression, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic kidney diseases to cancer. Reviews and research exploring the cellular and molecular factors that modulate obesity and obesity-related pathologies are welcome for submission.
Dr. Adriana Grigoraș
