A brown-to-white adipogenic transdifferentiation process in the periureter region of mouse renal adipose tissue gives rise to a population of cold-inducible adipocytes with a transcriptome distinct from subcutaneous beige adipocytes.

Elevated levels of ectopic fat and a decreased number of oxidative insulin-sensitive type I muscle fibers in skeletal muscle could lead to insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Differential agonist-induced phosphorylation of free fatty acid receptor 2 is shown in different tissues of transgenic mice engineered to express variant forms of the human ortholog of the receptor.

Intracellular growth of the bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila in the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum implicates a bacterial fatty acid transporter as well as dynamic interactions of the distinct membrane-bound replication compartment with host cell lipid droplets.

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

Bone marrow adipogenic precursors synthesize Csf1 to control bone remodeling and hematopoiesis.
