Adipose-tissue plasticity in health and disease

A Sakers, MK De Siqueira, P Seale, CJ Villanueva - Cell, 2022 - cell.com
Adipose tissue, colloquially known as" fat," is an extraordinarily flexible and heterogeneous
organ. While historically viewed as a passive site for energy storage, we now appreciate that …

The role of cellular senescence in ageing and endocrine disease

S Khosla, JN Farr, T Tchkonia… - Nature Reviews …, 2020 - nature.com
With the ageing of the global population, interest is growing in the 'geroscience hypothesis',
which posits that manipulation of fundamental ageing mechanisms will delay (in parallel) the …

Senolytic drugs: reducing senescent cell viability to extend health span

PD Robbins, D Jurk, S Khosla… - Annual review of …, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Senescence is the consequence of a signaling mechanism activated in stressed cells to
prevent proliferation of cells with damage. Senescent cells (Sncs) often develop a …

Targeting senescent cells alleviates obesity‐induced metabolic dysfunction

AK Palmer, M Xu, YI Zhu, T Pirtskhalava… - Aging cell, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Adipose tissue inflammation and dysfunction are associated with obesity‐related insulin
resistance and diabetes, but mechanisms underlying this relationship are unclear. Although …

Update on the pathogenesis and treatment of skeletal fragility in type 2 diabetes mellitus

S Khosla, P Samakkarnthai, DG Monroe… - Nature Reviews …, 2021 - nature.com
Fracture risk is increased in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In addition, these
patients sustain fractures despite having higher levels of areal bone mineral density, as …

Cellular senescence: at the nexus between ageing and diabetes

AK Palmer, B Gustafson, JL Kirkland, U Smith - Diabetologia, 2019 - Springer
Ageing and diabetes lead to similar organ dysfunction that is driven by parallel molecular
mechanisms, one of which is cellular senescence. The abundance of senescent cells in …

Deciphering the cellular interplays underlying obesity-induced adipose tissue fibrosis

G Marcelin, ALM Silveira, LB Martins… - The Journal of …, 2019 - Am Soc Clin Investig
Obesity originates from an imbalance between caloric intake and energy expenditure that
promotes adipose tissue expansion, which is necessary to buffer nutrient excess. Patients …

Targeting senescent cells enhances adipogenesis and metabolic function in old age

M Xu, AK Palmer, H Ding, MM Weivoda, T Pirtskhalava… - elife, 2015 - elifesciences.org
Senescent cells accumulate in fat with aging. We previously found genetic clearance of
senescent cells from progeroid INK-ATTAC mice prevents lipodystrophy. Here we show that …

Adipose tissue macrophages: going off track during obesity
