Increased accumulation of adipose tissue macrophages in obesity propagates chronic inflammation that is closely associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Semaphorin 3E, a guidance molecule for neurons, takes on a new role in obesity by directing the recruitment of macrophages in visceral adipose tissue (Shimizu et al., 2013).
