Abstract excerpt
White adipose tissue (WAT) fibrosis is a major determinant of obesity-induced cardiometabolic dysfunction and is characterized by excessive extracellular matrix deposition and myofibroblast activation. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 is a profibrotic cytokine that potently induces myofibroblast activation in adipocyte stem cells (ASCs). How TGF-β1 orchestrates ASC activation in WAT fibrosis is not completely...
