Adipocyte lipolysis abrogates skin fibrosis in a Wnt/DPP4-dependent manner
2021-01-21
Abstract excerpt
Tissue fibrosis in many organs results from altered and excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) protein deposition 1 . Concomitant with ECM expansion, resident lipid-filled cells including mature adipocytes are lost in human and mouse fibrosis 2-5 , yet the mechanisms that drive mature adipocyte lipid loss and their contribution to tissue fibrosis are unknown. Here, we identify an early, fibro-protective role of ma...
