Quantitative approaches to unravel bone marrow adipocyte site-specificity and its implication in hematopoiesis

Josefine Catharina Pedersen Tratwal

Over the last decade, bone marrow (BM) adipose tissue (BMAT) has emerged as a distinct adipose depot with unique metabolic properties and effects both in homeostasis and in the progression of disease. We provide a first comprehensive review of existing an ...
