| Beschreibung: |
Our group has extensive knowledge on adipose-derived stromal cells for cell-based therapies [1, 2]. Extending on this expertise, the aim of this project is to develop a physiological in vitro 3-dimensional (3D) vascularized human adipose tissue model containing immune cells as a tool for (immune) disease modeling. Increasing data indicate that multiple changes in the innate immune system are key contributors to inflammation in obese adipose tissue. Based on cells isolated from the adipose tissue stromal vascular fraction, spheroids, organoids and bioprinted 3D constructs will be established capable of maintaining adipose-resident immune cell subsets. A specific focus will be on enabling the model to study the specific contribution of innate immune cells, e.g. regulatory T cells, innate lymphoid cells and macrophages and to use this to establish novel therapeutic interventions.

| Methoden: |
Primary cell culture, 3D cell culture, bioprinting, flow cytometry, 2D/3D and live cell imaging, optical tissue clearing, AI-assisted image analysis, multiplex analysis, single cell analyses, lipidomis/metabolomics
Live-cell imaging, next to high-content imaging will be applied to monitor cell growth, cell-and cell interactions. Metabolic and inflammatory activity will be monitored by multiplex cytokine analyses, lipidomics/metabolomics upon anti-angiogenic, immunomodulatory or dietary interventions.
