Biomimetic Iridescent Skin: Robust Prototissues Spontaneously Assembled from Photonic Protocells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Uniform nanoparticles are induced to form arrays (photonic crystals) in the cores of biopolymer capsules, endowing these ‘protocells’ with structural color. These protocells are then assembled into large self‐standing objects, i.e., prototissues, with robust mechanical properties as well as iridescent optical properties.

Noggin depletion in adipocytes promotes obesity in mice. [PDF]

, 2019
ObjectiveObesity has increased to pandemic levels and enhanced understanding of adipose regulation is required for new treatment strategies. Although bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) influence adipogenesis, the effect of BMP antagonists such as Noggin ...

Dexamethasone Inhibits White Adipose Tissue Browning

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
White adipose tissue (WAT) regulates energy balance through energy storage, adipokines secretion and the thermogenesis process. Beige adipocytes are responsible for WAT thermogenesis. They are generated by adipogenesis or transdifferentiation during cold or β3-adrenergic agonist stimulus through a process called browning.

A Sacrificial 3D Printed Vessel‐on‐Chip Demonstrates a Versatile Approach to Model Granulation Tissue

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A novel method that combines 3D printing and organ‐on‐chip technology enables the creation of hollow channels lined with endothelial cells through a fibroblast‐populated connective tissue matrix. The model supports stable metabolic culture conditions, angiogenic sprouting, and immune cell migration, thereby demonstrating an easy and versatile method to

Obesity Expands a Distinct Population of T Cells in Adipose Tissue and Increases Vulnerability to Infection

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Obesity in humans is associated with poorer health outcomes after infections compared with non-obese individuals. Here, we examined the effects of white adipose tissue and obesity on T cell responses to viral infection in mice.

Enzymatic intracrine regulation of white adipose tissue [PDF]

Hormone Molecular Biology and Clinical Investigation, 2014
Abstract Abdominal fat formation has become a permanent risk factor for metabolic syndrome and various cancers in one-third of the world’s population of obese and even lean patients. Formation of abdominal fat involves additional mechanisms beyond an imbalance in energy intake and expenditure, which explains systemic obesity.
