Shiqi Liu, Liyi Wang, Defeng Ling, Teresa G. Valencak, more

Journal of Cellular Physiology > 237 > 3 > 1639 - 1647

Adipocytes are the key constituents of adipose tissue, and their de‐differentiation process has been widely observed in physiological and pathological conditions. For obese people, the promotion of adipocyte de‐differentiation or maintenance of an undifferentiated state of adipocytes may help to improve their metabolic condition. Thus, understanding the regulatory mechanisms of adipocyte de‐differentiation...
