  "statement": "This review reports that lipedema tissue shows a significant increase in M2 macrophages (CD163+, CD206+), crown-like structures around dead adipocytes across all disease stages, and ECM fibrosis, with M2-conditioned media promoting adipogenesis, though one transcriptomic study (Straub 2025, n=14) found suppressed inflammation, possibly attributable to comorbidities.",
