Biological Effects of Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor on hMADS Adipocytes
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019 Administration of ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) to experimental animals exerts anti-obesity effects by acting on multiple targets. In white adipose tissue CNTF reduces lipid content, promotes fatty acid (FA) oxidation and improves insulin ...

The metabolic origins of big size in aquatic mammals [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The group of large aquatic mammals has representatives being the largest living beings on earth, surpassing the weight and size of dinosaurs. In this paper, we present some empirical evidence and a mathematical model to argue that fat accumulation in marine mammals triggers a series of metabolic events that result in these animals' increased size.

CIRCADIAN RHYTHMICITY IN MURINE PRE-ADIPOCYTE AND ADIPOCYTE CELLS
Chronobiology International, 2009 Adipose tissue is central to metabolic homeostasis, signaling in part through the secretion of molecules termed adipokines. Circadian rhythms play an important role in adipose physiology, with plasma adipokine concentration and approximately 20 % of the murine adipose transcriptome undergoing 24 h variation. However, due to the heterogeneity of adipose

Energy landscape reveals the underlying mechanism of cancer-adipose conversion with gene network models [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Cancer is a systemic heterogeneous disease involving complex molecular networks. Tumor formation involves epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which promotes both metastasis and plasticity of cancer cells. Recent experiments proposed that cancer cells can be transformed into adipocytes with combination drugs.

Cell Membrane Vesicle Camouflaged Artificial Cells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Artificial cells camouflaged with a cell membrane vesicle coating are able to assemble into synthetic aggregates that exhibit rudimentary communication capabilities. Additionally, when these artificial cells are equipped with antioxidant capabilities, they are able to protect the intracellular homeostasis in HepG2 cells present in semi‐synthetic ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Lipid metabolism in pancreatic cancer: emerging roles and potential targets
Cancer Communications, Volume 42, Issue 12, Page 1234-1256, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Pancreatic cancer is one of the most serious health issues in developed and developing countries, with a 5‐year overall survival rate currently <9%. Patients typically present with advanced disease due to vague symptoms or lack of screening for early cancer detection.
