Adult skeletal muscle in mammals is a stable tissue under normal circumstances but has
remarkable ability to repair after injury. Skeletal muscle regeneration is a highly orchestrated …

The skeletal muscle extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role in muscle fiber force
transmission, maintenance, and repair. In both injured and diseased states, ECM adapts …

Ectopic fat deposition in skeletal muscle is closely associated with several disorders,
however, the origin of these adipocytes is not clear, nor is the mechanism of their formation …

Stem cells ensure tissue regeneration, while overgrowth of adipogenic cells may
compromise organ recovery and impair function. In myopathies and muscle atrophy …

Perivascular multipotent cells, pericytes, contribute to the generation and repair of various
tissues in response to injury. They are heterogeneous in their morphology, distribution …

The obesity epidemic has intensified efforts to understand the mechanisms controlling
adipose tissue development. Adipose tissue is generally classified as white adipose tissue …

Obesity and metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes mellitus are accompanied by
increased lipid deposition in adipose and non-adipose tissues including liver, pancreas …

Proton NMR spectroscopy at 7 Tesla (7T) was evaluated as a new method to quantify
human fat composition noninvasively. In validation experiments, the composition of a known …

Endothelial dysfunction comprises a number of functional alterations in the vascular
endothelium that are associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease, including …

Background: Recent findings suggest that higher levels of intermuscular adipose tissue
(IMAT) are associated with glucose dysregulation, lower levels of muscle strength, and a …
