New Research Uncovers Rapid Adipose Tissue Remodeling and Adipogenesis Following Bariatric Surgery

Check out the new preprint (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.04.09.717542v1) presenting work led by Zinger Yang Loureiro looking at how adipose tissue composition changes following weight loss surgery.  Zinger finds dramatic remodeling within the first month following surgery, including evidence of apoptosis of older, stressed adipocytes and the creation of new healthy adipocytes through adipogenesis.
