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...
2 Prrx1+ cells contribute to 3 adult connective tissues. (a) A schematic diagram depicting how Prrx1-Cre (KI) mouse was generated. (b) Illustrative images of E8.5 Prrx1-Cre; tdTomato embryos showed that Prrx1 lineage cells were present in the paraxial and intermediate mesoderm in addition...
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...
Figure 2. Simplified Diagram of the Common Embryonic Origin of Heart, Blood Vessels, and Adipose Tissue Through the formation of mesenchymal stem cells, cardiomyocytes, angiocytes, and adipocytes share a common genetic lineage. Figure illustration by Craig Skaggs. Beyond cardiovascular and adipose cell...
On the other hand, excessive and persistent intramuscular connective tissue deposition (IMCT) is a hallmark of fibrosis55,56. Knowing that the CTX injury model is described to be more pro-fibrotic compared to the Gly one, we investigated the con- sequence of platelet depletion in this context...
Influence of a TEC base on fat flap growth (a) Diagram showing the description of TEC4 and TEC5. The two tissue-engineering chambers (TEC 4 and TEC 5) differ by their dome porosity but have an identical flat base; (b) Growth curves of fat flap in the presence of TEC4 (left panel...
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 cells [153]. Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of...
