A study in Nature found that weight loss reduces cell senescence in people with obesity but doesn’t fully reverse all metabolic issues associated with obesity. go.nature.com/452Bbdv #medsky 🧪
This is figure 1, which shows a single-cell atlas of human AT in leanness, obesity and WL.

The iDiv Female Scientists initiative shows how workplace culture shapes gender equity in academia. Supportive spaces invite change from the ground up — where that’s missing, top-down action is key. buff.ly/ff0i7q8
Transparency reveals the scale of the problem, and the commitment to act can lead to meaningful change.
