1 Adipose tissue Adipose tissue is a type of loose connective tissue where excess energy is stored in the form of triglycerides. Besides its role in energy homeostasis, adipose tissue has a variety of functions such as heat production, insulation, mechanical protection of the organs. The structure...
Brown adipose tissue is more predominantly found in infants to provide heat, but some can be found in adults around the vertebrae and above the shoulder blades.Adipose Tissue Adipose tissue is the loose connective tissue in which fat is stored. It is considered a loose connective tissue because...

Lots of damage happens in the connective tissue, which is also known as the dermal ECM. Collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are the most critical and abundant substance of the dermal ECM. Features of photoaged skin include the accumulation of abnormal elastin fibers and GAGs, as we...
AGEs can bind to receptors on podocytes and mesangial cells, causing the secretion of fibrosis-promoting factors like VEGF, connective tissue growth factor, and TGF-β1, and an increase in NADPH oxidase expression. These factors promote the proliferation, expansion, and hypertrophy of glomerular ...

3D). The ECM comprises not only secreted proteins including collagens and proteoglycans but also components of the basement membrane, along with the interstitial, connective tissue matrix and the cellular debris that it envelops. Enzymatic-free decellularization protocol we used could largely preserve...
