    Limitation of adipose tissue by the number of embryonic progenitor cells

    Kristina Hedbacker, Yi-Hsueh Lu ... Jeffrey M Friedman
    The size of subcutaneous, but not visceral, fat depots is dependent on the number of embryonic adipocyte progenitors.

    PTRF/Cavin-1 promotes efficient ribosomal RNA transcription in response to metabolic challenges

    Libin Liu, Paul F Pilch
    PTRF (Cavin-1) mediates metabolism-regulated ribosomal transcription in mature adipocytes, independent of its role in caveolae formation.

    Human biallelic MFN2 mutations induce mitochondrial dysfunction, upper body adipose hyperplasia, and suppression of leptin expression

    Nuno Rocha, David A Bulger ... Robert K Semple
    Specific human mitofusin 2 mutations induce selective upper body obesity with suppressed leptin expression and severe adipose mitochondrial dysfunction.

    Mice lacking triglyceride synthesis enzymes in adipose tissue are resistant to diet-induced obesity

    Chandramohan Chitraju, Alexander W Fischer ... Robert V Farese Jr
    Inhibiting triglyceride storage in adipose tissue prevents obesity and improves metabolic health.

    A mouse model of human mitofusin-2-related lipodystrophy exhibits adipose-specific mitochondrial stress and reduced leptin secretion

    Jake P Mann, Xiaowen Duan ... David B Savage
    The p.Arg707Trp mutation in Mfn2 causes adipose-specific activation of the integrated stress response, which lowers secretion of adipokines.

    EPHX1 mutations cause a lipoatrophic diabetes syndrome due to impaired epoxide hydrolysis and increased cellular senescence

    Jeremie Gautheron, Christophe Morisseau ... Isabelle Jeru
    Disruption of epoxide hydrolysis inducing oxidative stress and cellular senescence is a novel mechanism responsible for lipoatrophic monogenic diabetes.

    A bone-specific adipogenesis pathway in fat-free mice defines key origins and adaptations of bone marrow adipocytes with age and disease

    Xiao Zhang, Hero Robles ... Erica L Scheller
    A novel secondary adipogenesis pathway is defined that is unique to the bone marrow and is activated with age and in states of metabolic stress.

    The fat body cortical actin network regulates Drosophila inter-organ nutrient trafficking, signaling, and adipose cell size

    Rupali Ugrankar-Banerjee, Son Tran ... W Mike Henne
    Fat-body-specific loss of actin isoform Act5C disrupts fat body cell growth and fat storage, lipoprotein secretion, and insulin signaling, revealing a non-canonical role for the cortical actin cytoskeleton in nutrient signaling and inter-organelle trafficking.

    Identification of functionally distinct fibro-inflammatory and adipogenic stromal subpopulations in visceral adipose tissue of adult mice

    Chelsea Hepler, Bo Shan ... Rana K Gupta
    Fibro-inflammatory progenitors represent a subpopulation of perivascular cells in visceral adipose tissues of mice that promote inflammation and fibrosis.

    Vitamin B2 enables regulation of fasting glucose availability

    Peter M Masschelin, Pradip Saha ... Sean M Hartig
    The dietary vitamin riboflavin provides the chemical backbone to generate essential substrates that support liver glucose metabolism during low-nutrient conditions.
