Abstract
Technologies allowing studies at single-cell resolution have provided important insights into how different cell populations contribute to tissue function. Application of these methods to white adipose tissue (WAT) has revealed how various metabolic aspects of this organ, such as insulin response, inflammation and tissue expansion, are regulated by specific WAT resident cells, including different subtypes of adipocytes, adipocyte progenitors as well as immune and endothelial cells. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the different technical approaches, their strengths and weaknesses, and summarize how these studies have improved our understanding of WAT function in health and disease.
