Protocol for stromal vascular fraction isolation from inguinal subcutaneous white adipose tissue and beige adipocyte differentiation [PDF]

STAR Protocols
Summary: Research on inducing beige adipocytes to combat obesity and its comorbidities is growing, with stromal vascular fraction (SVF) from white adipose tissue showing potential to differentiate into both white and beige adipocytes.

An insight into brown/beige adipose tissue whitening, a metabolic complication of obesity with the multifactorial origin

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Brown adipose tissue (BAT), a thermoregulatory organ known to promote energy expenditure, has been extensively studied as a potential avenue to combat obesity.

Scalable Generation of Pre‐Vascularized and Functional Human Beige Adipose Organoids

Advanced Science, 2023
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are becoming a global sociobiomedical burden. Beige adipocytes are emerging as key inducible actors and putative relevant therapeutic targets for improving metabolic health.

Engineering Functional Vascularized Beige Adipose Tissue from Microvascular Fragments of Models of Healthy and Type II Diabetes Conditions

Journal of Tissue Engineering, 2022
Engineered beige adipose tissues could be used for screening therapeutic strategies or as a direct treatment for obesity and metabolic disease. Microvascular fragments are vessel structures that can be directly isolated from adipose tissue and may ...

Thermogenic ability of uncoupling protein 1 in beige adipocytes in mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Chronic adrenergic activation leads to the emergence of beige adipocytes in some depots of white adipose tissue in mice. Despite their morphological similarities to brown adipocytes and their expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), a thermogenic ...

Engineering Human Beige Adipose Tissue

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
In this study, we described a method for generating functional, beige (thermogenic) adipose microtissues from human microvascular fragments (MVFs). The MVFs were isolated from adipose tissue acquired from adults over 50 years of age.

Latest Advancements on Combating Obesity by Targeting Human Brown/Beige Adipose Tissues

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Obesity is defined as overaccumulation of white adipose tissue in the body, mainly under the skin (subcutaneous adiposity) or in the abdominal cavity (visceral adiposity).

“Beige” Cross Talk Between the Immune System and Metabolism

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
With thymic senescence the epithelial network shrinks to be replaced by adipose tissue. Transcription factor TBX-1 controls thymus organogenesis, however, the same TBX-1 has also been reported to orchestrate beige adipose tissue development.
