Overlapping features between dedifferentiated liposarcoma and undifferentiated high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma.

30 Oct 2009 Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDL), occurring in up to 10% of well differentiated liposarcoma cases, has similar histologic features to that of undifferentiated high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma (UHGPS); the former develops in a background of atypical ... Read more...

Short-term regulation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced lipolysis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes is mediated through the inducible nitric oxide synthase/nitric oxide-dependent pathway.

7 Oct 2009 TNF-alpha has several effects on adipocytes that may be related to the development of type 2 diabetes in obese subjects. Many studies demonstrated that long-term treatment with TNF-alpha increases lipolysis in adipocytes. However, the short-term (<4 ... Read more...

A bone-protective role for IL-17 receptor signaling in ovariectomy-induced bone loss.

29 Sep 2009 Post-menopausal osteoporosis is considered to be an inflammatory process, in which numerous pro-inflammatory and T-cell-derived cytokines play a bone-destructive role. IL-17A is the signature cytokine of the pro-inflammatory Th17 population and ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Adipocytes'

Definition: Cells in the body that store FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. WHITE ADIPOCYTES are the predominant type and found mostly in the abdominal cavity and subcutaneous tissue. BROWN ADIPOCYTES are thermogenic cells that can be found in newborns of some species and hibernating mammals.
