TAF7L acts as a molecular switch that regulates the development of mesenchymal stem cells.

A large-scale transcription factor screen reveals over twenty novel adipogenic regulators: most notably ZEB1, which exerts essential transcriptional control of fat cell differentiation.

A combination of cellular, biochemical, genetic and genomic techniques have revealed a new molecular player in the production of fat cells in mice, which could improve our understanding of obesity.

OGT-mediated protein O-GlcNAcylation balances osteogenic versus adipogenic differentiation and controls hematopoietic niche function of bone marrow stromal cells.

Specific gene knockout and signaling inhibition studies indicate the activation of β-catenin-bone morphogenetic protein signaling contributes to the development of fibular hemimelia disease.

PASK phosphorylates Wdr5 to trigger epigenetic changes at lineage specifying promoters resulting in transcriptional derepression and differentiation of stem or progenitor cells.

The transcription factor C/EBPβ binds to different DNA sequences depending on whether it binds to ATF4, which enables C/EBPβ to conduct diverse transcriptional programs during adipocyte differentiation by exploiting an expanded motif repertoire.

Hoxa3 and Hoxa11 translation inhibitory elements block cap-dependent translation by using upstream open reading frames with distinct modes of action.

Adipsin, the oldest known adipokine, has a novel role as a a regulator of bone marrow fat and, consequently, overall bone health.
