?

The purpose of this page is to keep you informed about the research projects we are currently conducting or have completed. Here you will find detailed information on:

Environmental factors

  • Biological mechanisms: What are the exact mechanisms that lead to the development of lipedema?
  • Vascular Mechanism: What role does the venous-lymphatic system play in the development of lipedema?
  • Genetic factors: Are there specific genetic predispositions to this disease?
  • Effective Treatments: What are the most effective treatments for managing and curing lipedema?
  • Prevention: How can we prevent the onset and progression of lipedema?

Our research projects

A Vascular Approach to Lipedema

A study is currently underway in Toulouse to better understand the role of blood vessels in lipedema. The goal is to improve understanding of the condition and the care provided to patients.
2027

International Scientific Congress on Lipedema

Organization of an international scientific conference on lipedema. Location: Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie – Parc de la Villette, Paris. Objective: to bring together experts, researchers, and healthcare professionals to discuss scientific advances, diagnosis, and treatment strategies.

Biotechnology research on fibrosis

Biotechnology research project focused on studying the mechanisms of fibrosis in lipedema. Objective: To develop innovative approaches targeting tissue fibrosis in order to improve treatments and patients’ quality of life.

Current projects

Descriptions of ongoing studies and research, with regular updates on their progress.

Completed Projects

Presentations on completed research, the results obtained, and their implications for the understanding and treatment of lipedema.

While we wait for our first projects

We are currently laying the groundwork to launch our first research projects. This includes identifying scientific partners, recruiting researchers, and raising the funds needed to support these initiatives. Your support is essential to turning these ambitions into tangible realities.

Without funding, none of this can happen. Donations are crucial to advancing research on lipedema. They allow us to cover the costs of studies, purchase necessary equipment, and support researchers dedicated to this cause. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a significant difference.

By supporting our organization, you become a key player in the fight against lipedema. Together, we can make progress toward a better understanding of the condition and improve the lives of those affected by it.
