Abstract Glycogen synthase kinase‐3 (GSK3) is a highly evolutionarily conserved
serine/threonine protein kinase first identified as an enzyme that regulates glycogen …

Identification of cost-effective interventions to maintain muscle mass, muscle strength, and
physical performance during muscle wasting and aging is an important public health …

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is an inherited ciliopathy generally associated with severe
obesity, but the underlying mechanism remains hypothetical and is generally proposed to be …

OBJECTIVE Growth of white adipose tissue takes place in normal development and in
obesity. A pool of adipose progenitors is responsible for the formation of new adipocytes and …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent precursor cells originating from several
adult connective tissues. MSCs possess the ability to self-renew and differentiate into …

SPARC (secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine) modulates interactions between cells
and extracellular matrix and is enriched in white adipose tissue. We have reported that …

Human amniotic fluid mesenchymal stem cells (huAFMSCs) are emerging as a promising
therapeutic option in regenerative medicine. Here, we characterized huAFMSC phenotype …

Many of the components that regulate the circadian clock have been identified in organisms
and humans. The influence of circadian rhythm (CR) on the regulation of stem cells biology …

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) present in the bone marrow are the precursors of
osteoblasts, chondrocytes and adipocytes, and hold tremendous potential for …

The canonical Wnt signaling pathway is ubiquitous throughout the body and influences a
diverse array of physiological processes. Following the initial discovery of the Wnt signaling …
