Lipolytic Function of Adipocyte/Endothelial Cocultures [PDF]

Tissue Engineering Part A, 2011
The rising incidence of adipose-related disorders such as obesity has prompted increased interest in the in vitro development of functional human soft tissues to study the disease and treatment options. Further, soft tissues maintained in vitro with a capacity to resemble in vivo tissues in structure and metabolic function would help gain insight into ...
