CD47 differentially regulates white and brown fat function
Biology Open, 2020 Mechanisms that enhance energy expenditure are attractive therapeutic targets for obesity. Previously we have demonstrated that mice lacking cd47 are leaner, exhibit increased energy expenditure, and are protected against diet-induced obesity.

Computational modeling of the physical features that influence breast cancer invasion into adipose tissue [PDF]
APL Bioengineering 8 (2024) 036104Breast cancer invasion into adipose tissue strongly influences disease progression and metastasis. The degree of cancer cell invasion into adipose tissue depends on numerous biochemical and physical properties of cancer cells, adipocytes, and other key components of adipose tissue.

Circadian control of brown adipose tissue
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2021 Disruption of circadian (~24 h) rhythms is associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases. Therefore, unravelling how circadian rhythms are regulated in different metabolic tissues has become a prominent research focus. Of particular interest is brown adipose tissue (BAT), which combusts triglyceride-derived fatty acids and glucose into ...
