Simple mechanical cues could explain adipose tissue morphology [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 The mechanisms by which organs acquire their functional structure and realize its maintenance (or homeostasis) over time are still largely unknown. In this paper, we investigate this question on adipose tissue. Adipose tissue can represent 20 to 50% of the body weight.

Adipocyte, 2017 Adipocytes were identified in human bone marrow more than a century ago, yet until recently little has been known about their origin, development, function or interactions with other cells in the bone marrow. Little functional significance has been attributed to these cells, a paradigm that still persists today. However, we now know that marrow adipose

Adipochondrocytes in rabbit auricular cartilage [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Chondrocytes are described as one cell population in different cartilage types. The auricular cartilage in mouse and rat contains unique chondrocytes similar in morphology to white adipocytes and known as lipochondrocytes. Lipochondrocytes were not mentioned in other species. The current study aimed to explore the existence of this cell type in rabbits.

The Beige Adipocyte as a Therapy for Metabolic Diseases
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Adipose tissue is traditionally categorized into white and brown relating to their function and morphology. The classical white adipose tissue builds up energy in the form of triglycerides and is useful for preventing fatigue during periods of low ...

Extra-cellular matrix rigidity may dictate the fate of injury outcome [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 After injury, if regeneration can be observed in hydra, planaria and some vertebrates, regeneration is rare in mammals and particularly in humans. In this paper, we investigate the mechanisms by which biological tissues recover after injury. We explore this question on adipose tissue, using the mathematical framework recently developed in Peurichard et

Cancer Research, 2016 Malignant progression results from a dynamic cross-talk between stromal and cancer cells. Recent evidence suggests that this cross-talk is mediated to a significant extent by exosomes, nanovesicles secreted by most cell types and which allow the transfer

Elastic Properties of Nematic Liquid Crystals Formed by Living and Migrating Cells [PDF]
arXiv, 1998 In culture migrating and interacting amoeboid cells can form nematic liquid crystal phases. A polar nematic liquid crystal is formed if the interaction has a polar symmetry. One type of white blood cells (granulocytes) form clusters where the cells are oriented towards the center.

Molecular mechanisms of FOXO1 in adipocyte differentiation.
Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, 2019 Forkhead box-O1 (FOXO1) is a downstream target of AKT and plays crucial roles in cell cycle control, apoptosis, metabolism and adipocyte differentiation. It is thought that FOXO1 affects adipocyte differentiation by regulating lipogenesis and cell cycle.

Adipocyte dedifferentiation in health and diseases.
Clinical science, 2019 Adipose tissues collectively as an endocrine organ and energy storage are crucial for systemic metabolic homeostasis. The major cell type in the adipose tissue, the adipocytes or fat cells, are remarkably plastic and can increase or decrease their size ...
