Adipocytes and energy balance. Adipose tissue contains most of the energy stores in normal healthy humans. An important but underappreciated fact is that having more fat cells does not make an ...

Adipose tissue development is poorly understood. Here we use a lineage-tracing strategy optimal for adipocytes to provide evidence that Myf5 precursors are not the exclusive source of brown ...

Adipocytes Found to Produce Antimicrobial Peptides January 5, 2015 Scientists at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine say they have made an unexpected finding: fat cells ...

Adipocytes can be classified into three types; white, brown and beige. White adipocytes are unilocular, or single-cavity fat droplets. They are involved in storing fat, producing hormones that ...

Fat isn't all bad: Skin adipocytes help protect against infections. ScienceDaily . Retrieved April 9, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2015 / 01 / 150101142316.htm ...

Adipocytes can be converted into mesenchymal stem cells, which can then be converted into megakaryocytes. These megakaryocytes can be used to produce platelets, which may be a source of safer ...

Multipotent mesechymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been recognized as a source of adipocytes both in vivo and in vitro. It is reported that, simultaneous activation of canonical signaling pathways ...

Adipocytes engineered to use increased amounts of glucose and fatty acids by upregulating UCP1 were placed alongside cancer cells or xenografts, leading to significant cancer suppression.

RNA sequencing of the GIPR-expressing cells provided insight into a molecular mechanism by which GIPR regulates weight loss. GIPR overexpression in the animals’ adipocytes resulted in increased ...

Insulin resistance has a causal role in type 2 diabetes. Serum levels of retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), a protein secreted by adipocytes, are increased in insulin-resistant states. Experiments i ...

"Adipocytes generally get a bad rap for promoting cancer progression, but this study demonstrates that healthy breast fat can play a protective role in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis and ...
