Introduction. Due to a set of unique properties, for example, the ability to differentiate into different types of connective tissue cells, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are attracting more and more attention from researchers.

Vasodilator signals from perivascular adipose tissue [PDF]
Visceral fat has been linked to metabolic disturbances and increased risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Recent studies propose a paracrine role for periadventitial adipose tissue in the control of arterial vascular tone. This regulation depends on the anatomical integrity of the vessels and involves a transferable mediator(s ...

Beiging of perivascular adipose tissue regulates its inflammation and vascular remodeling
Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) has been reported to undergo inflammatory changes in response to vascular injury. Here, the authors show that vascular injury induces the beiging (brown adipose tissue-like phenotype change) of PVAT, which fine-tunes ...

Research progress on the mechanism of perivascular adipose tissue inflammation promoting atherosclerosis [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is harmful to human health. Under pathological conditions including hypertension and hyperlipidemia, increased levels of pro-inflammatory immunocytes in perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), “whitening” of brown adipose tissue, and ...

Examining the role of insulin in the regulation of cardiovascular health [PDF]
A substantial body of evidence has reported that insulin has direct actions on the cardiovascular system independent of its systemic effects on plasma glucose or lipids.

MiRNAs as novel adipokines : obesity-related circulating MiRNAs influence chemosensitivity in cancer patients [PDF]
Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ, capable of regulating distant physiological processes in other tissues via the release of adipokines into the bloodstream.

Investigating interactions between epicardial adipose tissue and cardiac myocytes: what can we learn from different approaches? [PDF]
Heart disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Some cardiovascular conditions can be modulated by lifestyle factors such as increased exercise or a healthier diet, but many require surgical or pharmacological ...

Role of arginase 2 in systemic metabolic activity and adipose tissue fatty acid metabolism in diet-induced obese mice [PDF]
Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) inflammation and metabolic dysregulation are key components of obesity-induced metabolic disease. Upregulated arginase, a ureahydrolase enzyme with two isoforms (A1-cytosolic and A2-mitochondrial), is implicated in ...
