Switch from Canonical to Noncanonical Wnt Signaling Mediates High Glucose-Induced Adipogenesis
4 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
Human bone marrow mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) are multipotent cells that play an essential role in endogenous repair and the maintenance of the stem cell niche. We have recently shown that high levels of glucose, conditions mimicking diabetes, cause impairment of MPCs, resulting in enhanced adipogenesis and suppression of osteogenesis. This implies that diabetes may lead to reduced endogenous repair...
