Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 and Browning of White Adipose Tissue
Interest has been focused on differentiating anatomical, molecular, and physiological characteristics of the types of mammalian adipose tissues. White adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) are the two main forms of adipose tissue in humans.

Pre- and postnatal adipose tissue development in farm animals: from stem cells to adipocyte physiology [PDF]
To view supplementary material for this article, please visit http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S1751731116000872Both white and brown adipose tissues are recognized to be differently involved in energy metabolism and are also able to secrete a variety of ...

Patient‐derived xenografts (PDXs) can be improved by implantation of a humanized niche. We tested different biomaterials and approaches, and demonstrate that the combination of an injectable biomaterial for scaffold creation plus an intravenous route for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) xenotransplantation provide the most convenient and robust approach to

Abstract Background Women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are more susceptible than men to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Signs of increased risk may already appear among adolescent girls. Objectives We explored the contribution of body composition to the development of CVD risk factors among youth with T1D.

Computational modeling of the physical features that influence breast cancer invasion into adipose tissue [PDF]
Breast 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.

Systems biology of human adipocytes: from genes and molecular networks to heterogeneity and metabolic phenotypes [PDF]
Obesity and its co-morbidities are among the leading health problems facing the developed world. Multiple genetic and environmental factors are known to have a significant impact on obesity development, however, heterogeneity of adipose tissue also ...

T2DM is characterized by peripheral blood insulin resistance and progressive pancreatic β‐cell dysfunction. Here, we showed that AQP7, the only aquaglyceroporin protein, regulates autophagy and apoptosis in pancreatic β‐cells. We propose the existence of a positive feedback loop between MAPK signaling and AQP7 that regulates autophagy and apoptosis in ...

Brown adipose tissue and regulation of human body weight
Abstract Background Approximately 30% of the global population is affected by obesity. Traditional non‐surgical measures for weight loss have limited efficacy and tolerability. Therefore, there is a need for novel, effective therapies. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been implicated in physiological energy expenditure, indicating that it could be ...

TGFBI remodels adipose metabolism by regulating the Notch-1 signaling pathway
Fat metabolism: protecting against obesity-related metabolic disorders Studying a protein called TGFBI, which regulates adipose expansion, may help the development of new approaches to protect against obesity and related metabolic disorders such as type ...

The Role of Tumor and Tumor Microenvironment on Breast Cancer-Associated Adipocyte Plasticity [PDF]
Cancer-associated cachexia is a condition defined by a sustained net-negative energy imbalance. Although the different types of adipose tissue – white, beige, and brown – have been implicated in contributing to cancer-associated cachexia, the mechanisms ...
