Single-cell expression profiling and genetic lineage analysis show that aging impairs adipocyte differentiation from precursor cells and blocks the thermogenic activation of adipocytes during cold exposure.
Efficient myogenic and lipogenic transdifferentiation of chicken fibroblasts in 3D culture produces meat with precisely controlled levels of intramuscular fat and extracellular matrix.
