Adipokines as Drug Targets in Diabetes and Underlying Disturbances

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Research, 2015
Diabetes and obesity are worldwide health problems. White fat dynamically participates in hormonal and inflammatory regulation. White adipose tissue is recognized as a multifactorial organ that secretes several adipose-derived factors that have been ...

Co‐Treatment With rhBMP‐2 and Rapamycin Modulates Osteogenesis–Adipogenesis Balance to Enhance Aged Bone Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the imbalance between osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation in senescent BMSCs, leading to excessive adipocyte accumulation, which subsequently impairs bone regeneration in aged mice. To address this pathological dysregulation, a novel energy‐supplying hydrogel system (PBR) has been developed to restore balanced ...

Adipokines in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Rheumatology, 2018
Rheumatoid arthritis affects millions of people worldwide and is considered a chronic multisystem disease whose causes are unknown. In general, the main objective of rheumatoid arthritis treatment is to improve the quality of life of patients by relieving pain, maintaining or improving functional capacity, preventing thus, disability.

Obesity, adipokines and COVID‐19 [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2020
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has led to worldwide research aiming to identify the risk factors for developing critical illness and mortality caused by COVID-19. It quickly became apparent that besides older age, obesity is one of the most important risk factors for a more severe course of COVID-19, although the mechanisms remain largely unknown [1-3 ...

The Role of Adipokines in Tumor Progression and Its Association with Obesity

open access: yesBiomedicines
Obesity is a well-established risk factor for various malignancies and emerging evidence suggests that adipokines play a pivotal role in linking excess adiposity to tumorigenesis.

Adipokines mediate inflammation and insulin resistance

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
For many years, adipose tissue was considered as an inert energy storage organ that accumulates and stores triacylglycerols during energy excess and releases fatty acids in times of systemic energy need.

Modulation of Network Plasticity Opens Novel Therapeutic Possibilities in Cancer, Diabetes, and Neurodegeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Plasticity changes of molecular networks form a cellular learning process. Signaling network plasticity promotes cancer, metastasis, and drug resistance development. 55 plasticity‐related cancer drug targets are listed (20 having already approved drugs, 9 investigational drugs, and 26 being drug target candidates).
