15 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of obesity and metabolic diseases continues to rise, which has led to an increased interest in studying adipose tissue to elucidate underlying disease mechanisms. The use of genetic mouse models has been critical for understanding the role of specific genes for adipose tissue function and the tissue's impact on other organs. However, mouse adipose tissue displays key differences to human fat, which...
