In the particular case of the skin adipose depot, dermal white adipose tissue has been recently described as a contributor to a wide range of events including hair formation and cycle and cutaneous wound healing. This chapter aims to provide an overview of the role of adipose tissue and their...
Learn what adipose tissue is and how it is referred to as fat. Discover where the adipose tissue is found, about adipose cells, and the function of...
Studies show that it influences energy homeostasis, inhibits insulin signaling in adipose tissue and liver, and influences adipose tissue function and expansion. The insulin resistance promoted by TNF-α happens by suppression of proteins involved in the insulin-dependent intake of glucose and by ...
The adipose tissue, which serves as an endocrine organ, releases various molecules that regulate the repair of other damaged tissues, including the skin. Hence, adipose tissues can potentially be reengineered to regenerate the damaged organs. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology has revolutioni...
A number of adipokines, including leptin and adiponectin, have well-established effects on kidney function; adiponectin might also be produced locally within the kidney and exert important metabolic functions in an autocrine fashion As a source of pro-inflammatory cytokines, adipose tissue might exert ...
Furthermore, tissue wasting in these model systems was due in part to altered exocrine pancreatic function that developed with early pancreatic cancer, leading to nutrient malabsorption and wasting of peripheral tissues11. Among patients with localized pancreatic cancer, more than half of patients have...

Epithelial Epithelial tissue is made of closely-packed cells arranged in flat sheets. Epithelia form the surface of the skin‚ line the various cavities and tubes of the body‚ and cover the internal organs. Subsets of Epithelia Epithelia that form the interface between the internal and ...
function [11]. Adipose tissue can also be categorized according to the specific depots, with subcutaneous fat (SAT) and visceral fat (VAT) being a large proportion of WAT and being investigated in many previous studies. Adipose tissue undergoes dramatic changes in various aspects during aging [...
