Adipocyte Heterogeneity Underlying Adipose Tissue Functions
5 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
Adipose tissue distribution in the human body is highly heterogeneous, and the relative mass of different depots is differentially associated with metabolic disease risk. Distinct functions of adipose depots are mediated by their content of specialized adipocyte subtypes, best exemplified by thermogenic adipocytes found in specific depots. Single-cell transcriptome profiling has been used to define the cellular...
