Sarcopenia and myopathies cause progressive muscle weakness and degeneration, which
are closely associated with fat infiltration and fibrosis in muscle. Recently, experimental …

Key points Muscle infiltration with adipose tissue (IMAT) is common and associated with loss

The origins of wound myofibroblasts and scar tissue remains unclear, but it is assumed to
involve conversion of adipocytes into myofibroblasts. Here, we directly explore the potential …

Cold exposure promotes glucose oxidation and modulates the lipid metabolism in adipose
