Adipose tissue plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and endocrine signaling. White adipose tissue (WAT), in particular, is a compelling target for therapeutic interventions in metabolic diseases due to its secretory capacity and abundance. Gene ...

Fat plays a very important role in the quality of meat and meat products. Cell culture based adipocyte differentiation is a crucial step in the production of cell-cultured meat, traditionally relying on quantitative assessments through fluorescence s...
Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles that are present in almost all cell types, with a particularly high prevalence in adipocytes. The phenotype of LDs in these cells reflects their maturity, metabolic activity and function. Although LDs quant...
Hundreds of loci have been robustly associated with obesity-related traits, but functional characterization of candidate genes remains a bottleneck. Aiming to systematically characterize candidate genes for a role in accumulation of lipids in adipocy...
Most patients with Crohn disease (CD), a chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal disease, experience recurrence despite treatment, including surgical resection. However, methods for predicting recurrence remain unclear. This study aimed to predict post...
Crown-like structures (CLSs) are adipose microenvironments of macrophages engulfing adipocytes. Their histological density in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) predicts metabolic disorder progression in obesity and is believed to initiate obesity comorbi...
Genetic studies have recently highlighted the importance of fat distribution, as well as overall adiposity, in the pathogenesis of obesity-associated diseases. Using a large study (n = 1,288) from 4 independent cohorts, we aimed to investigate the re...
Catechins in green tea possess various health benefits. Enzymatic treatment improves physiological activities by inducing bioconversion of catechins. Here, we investigated the effect of green tea infusion (GT) after tannase treatment, which transform...
Stem cells are a group of competent cells capable of self-renewal and differentiating into osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic lineages. These cells provide the possibility of successfully treating patients. During differentiation into adipose t...
Fetuin-A (FetA) is a free fatty acid transporter and an acute-phase protein that enhances cellular lipid uptake and lipogenesis. In nonruminants, FetA is involved in lipid-induced inflammation. Despite FetA importance in lipid metabolism and inflamma...
