Research cited in this study

3 / 3 results

research Skin Aging: Are Adipocytes the Next Target?

70 citations , July 2016 in “Aging”

This study suggests that dermal adipocytes might play a key role in skin aging due to their transformation into fibrotic structures in chronically photo-damaged skin.

research Syndecan-1 Is Required to Maintain Intradermal Fat and Prevent Cold Stress

88 citations , August 2014 in “PLOS genetics”

This study found that mice lacking syndecan-1 experienced cold stress and metabolic issues due to reduced intradermal fat, which was restored by thermoneutral housing or rosiglitazone treatment.

research Intradermal Adipocytes Mediate Fibroblast Recruitment During Skin Wound Healing

238 citations , March 2013 in “Development”

This study found that adipocytes play a crucial role in skin wound healing by facilitating fibroblast recruitment and dermal reconstruction during the healing process.
