Generation of Functional Brown Adipocytes from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells via Progression through a Paraxial Mesoderm State

Human PSCs were subject to directed differentiation through a paraxial mesoderm progenitor state that generates brown adipocytes (BAs) at high efficiency. Molecular analysis identified potential regulatory networks for BA development, giving insight into development along this lineage.

Effect of Simulated Microgravity Conditions of Hindlimb Unloading on Mice Hematopoietic and Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into two groups: a control group and a hindlimb suspension group. After four weeks of hindlimb suspension, scientists found that this simulated microgravity condition increased the percentage of monocytes and macrophages and decreased the percentage of B lymphocytes and mature red cells in bone marrow.

Angiopoietin-2–Integrin α5β1 Signaling Enhances Vascular Fatty Acid Transport and Prevents Ectopic Lipid-Induced Insulin Resistance

Mechanistically, Angpt2 activated integrin α5β1 signaling in the endothelium and triggered fatty acid transport via CD36 and FATP3 into subcutaneous adipose tissue. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of the endothelial integrin α5β1 recapitulated adipocyte-specific Angpt2 knockout phenotypes.
