Adipose tissue is a key determinant of whole body metabolism and energy homeostasis. Unraveling the regulatory mechanisms underlying adipogenesis is therefore highly relevant from a biomedical perspective. Our current understanding of fat cell differentiat ...
Obesity is currently a leading global health concern. Treatments include undergoing a weight-loss regimen. However, successful weight-loss is variable, where the heritability of obesity is considered part of the cause. This patient variability to weight-lo ...
Background: The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays an important role in erectile function. The RAS contains 2 major axes: one deleterious, composed of ACE-Ang II-AT1 receptor, and another protective, composed of ACE2-Ang-(1-7)-Mas receptor. While aging i ...

Advances in single-cell genomics now enable large-scale comparisons of cell states across two or more experimental conditions. Numerous statistical tools are available to identify individual genes, proteins or chromatin regions that differ between conditio ...

Excess fat mass in obese individuals, which is characterized by an increase of white adipocyte cell size and number, significantly raises the risk of developing metabolic syndrome symptoms as well as cancer. A detailed understanding of the transcriptional ...

The Notch signaling pathway is a key regulator of cell fate decisions in embryonic development and in adult tissue homeostasis. Mounting evidence suggests that Notch signaling is frequently deregulated in human neoplasms, where depending upon the cellular ...
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a fundamental enzyme that controls energy homeostasis, through orchestrating the cellular response to a reduction in energy availability. Under conditions of cellular energy stress AMPK senses the decrease in ATP leve ...
Adipose tissue is increasingly recognized as a dynamic, endocrine organ responsible for regulating metabolic homeostasis via the collective action of its two principal subtypes: white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT). Recently, the disco ...
Mesenchymal stromal/stem cell (MSC) therapy has shown promise in experimental models of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The aim of this study was to test the therapeutic effects of extracellular vesicles produced by human BM MSCs (MEx) in a bleomycin- ...
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways constitute key regulatory elements linking extracellular stimuli to nuclear gene expression. Immediate-early responsive genes (IEGs) of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) family, such as fos, achieve peak expres ...
