MRAP mediated adipocyte differentiation by thymic MSCs contributes to thymic adipose involution
2022-06-01
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Adipocyte deposition is believed to be a primary characteristic of age-related thymic involution, but the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms remain unknown. We show here that thymic mesenchymal stromal cells (tMSCs) are differentiated into adipocytes through melanocortin-2 receptor accessory protein (MRAP). Specifically, we found that in contrast to bone-forming MSCs isolated...
