TLDR 3D cultures can create active macrophages from fat tissue.
The study presents a 3D in-vitro system for generating and culturing functional adipose tissue (AT)-resident macrophages without requiring cell sorting. This innovative system provides a valuable tool for investigating the differentiation and function of AT-macrophages in various physiological and pathological settings.
