Obesity is characterized by increased adipose tissue mass and has been associated with a
strong predisposition towards metabolic diseases and cancer. Thus, it constitutes a public …

Obesity is recognized as a severe threat to overall human health and is associated with type
2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. Abnormal …

Primary cilia are solitary, immotile sensory organelles present on most cells in the body that
participate broadly in human health, physiology and disease. Cilia generate a unique …

Adipogenesis is the process by which precursor stem cells differentiate into lipid laden
adipocytes. Adipogenesis is regulated by a complex and highly orchestrated gene …

The formation of adipocytes during embryogenesis has been largely understudied.
However, preadipocytes appear to originate from multipotent mesenchymal stromal/stem …

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are promising candidates for tissue engineering and
regenerative medicine. The multipotent stem cell component of MSC isolates is able to …

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) associated non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the
fourth-leading cause of death. Hyperglycemia induces various complications, including …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are multipotent cells, functioning as precursors to a variety
of cell types including adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes. Between osteogenic and …

Obesity is now a widespread disorder, and its prevalence has become a critical concern
worldwide, due to its association with common co-morbidities like cancer, cardiovascular …

Improved knowledge of all aspects of adipose biology will be required to counter the
burgeoning epidemic of obesity. Interest in adipogenesis has increased markedly over the …
