The study is part of an international effort, the Human Cell Atlas Project, to generate a comprehensive map or atlases of all ...

Adipose tissue is an underappreciated and misunderstood ... have identified numerous cell subtypes that play critical roles in regulating adipogenesis, thermogenesis, and interorgan communication.

Metabolic health relies on the ability of adipose tissue progenitor cells (APCs) to become fully fledged fat cells. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying the formation of adipocytes ...

Now, researchers have discovered that there are three different subtypes of mature fat cells in white adipose tissue and that it is only one of these, called AdipoPLIN, that responds to insulin.

They identify 18 different types of fat cells (adipocyte) with unique tendencies to form different types of clusters in white adipose tissue. These include three mature fat cell subtypes with ...

When people gain weight, their adipose tissue expands, which gradually leads to its inflammation, and to insulin resistance. Normal adipose tissue function is disrupted, and it starts to release ...

The study found that microplastic particles (MPs) not only induce senescence in white adipose tissue but also significantly impair adipogenesis, reducing lipid droplet formation in both white and ...

Adipocytes form adipose tissue, which stores energy as an insulating ... to generate a comprehensive map or atlases of all types and subtypes of cells that make up the human body, in partnership ...

Now, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have discovered that there are three different subtypes of mature fat cells in white adipose tissue and that it is only one of these ...
