...Zachary L. Sebo; Matthew S. Rodeheffer ABSTRACT Adipose tissue is composed of anatomically distinct depots that mediate several important aspects of energy homeostasis. The past two decades have witnessed increased research effort to elucidate the ontogenetic basis of adipose form and function...

... correspond to functional differences in this context. Altogether, these findings shed light on adipose tissue patterning and suggest that the behavior of adipocyte lineage cells is not strictly determined by developmental history. * Author for correspondence ( [email protected]...

...Daniel C. Berry; Drew Stenesen; Daniel Zeve; Jonathan M. Graff Adipose tissue is formed at stereotypic times and locations in a diverse array of organisms. Once formed, the tissue is dynamic, responding to homeostatic and external cues and capable of a 15-fold expansion. The formation...
