Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Adipose tissue is essential for metabolic homeostasis and energy balance, with its dysregulation contributing to obesity, insulin resistance, and related metabolic disorders. This Special Issue will highlight cutting-edge research on adipocyte biology, including advancements in adipocyte culture methods, novel surface markers for progenitor cells, innovative multi- and single-cell analysis methods, insights into the adipocyte secretome and cell/tissue communication, and models of insulin resistance. We welcome studies on different types of adipocytes, including white, brown, and beige adipocytes, and encourage the submission of papers exploring new genes, signaling pathways, and therapeutic targets. The goal is to consolidate research that advances adipocyte studies and informs future therapeutic strategies for obesity and metabolic diseases.
Dr. Aaron C. Brown
