The formation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) via brown adipogenesis has become a notable process due to its ability to expend energy as heat with implications in the treatment of …
Stem cells are a group of competent cells capable of self-renewal and differentiating into osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic lineages. These cells provide the possibility of …
Adipogenesis is essential in in vitro experimentation to assess differentiation capability of stem cells, and therefore, its accurate measurement is important. Quantitative analysis of …
In this study, wepropose an automatic procedure for digital image processing. Wedescribe a method that can efficiently quantify and characterizelipid droplets distributions in different …
Stem cells are a bunch of cells that are considered as encouraging cells for treating patients because of their ability to regenerate themselves and also their potential for differentiation …
The ability of brown adipocytes (fat cells) to dissipate energy as heat shows great promise for the treatment of obesity and other metabolic disorders. Employing pluripotent stem cells …
Obesity results from a chronic imbalance in caloric intake and expenditure. The excess calories are stored mainly as lipids (triglycerides, TG), leading to an expansion of body fat or …
