Extracellular calcium modulates brown adipocyte differentiation and identity
Scientific Reports, 2017 Brown adipocytes are important in regulating non-shivering thermogenesis, whole body glucose and lipid homeostasis. Increasing evidence supports an important role of metabolites as well as macro- and micronutrients in brown adipocyte differentiation and ...

Skin-associated adipocytes in skin barrier immunity: A mini-review
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 The skin contributes critically to health via its role as a barrier tissue against a multitude of external pathogens. The barrier function of the skin largely depends on the uppermost epidermal layer which is reinforced by skin barrier immunity.

Angiogenesis in Adipose Tissue: The Interplay Between Adipose and Endothelial Cells
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Obesity is a worldwide health problem, and as its prevalence increases, so does the burden of obesity-associated co-morbidities like type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Adipose tissue (AT) is an endocrine organ embedded in a dense vascular

UCP1 Dependent and Independent Thermogenesis in Brown and Beige Adipocytes
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020 Mammals have two types of thermogenic adipocytes: brown adipocytes and beige adipocytes. Thermogenic adipocytes express high levels of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) to dissipates energy in the form of heat by uncoupling the mitochondrial proton gradient ...
