Key result
Adipocyte progenitors play a key role in obesity-associated white adipose tissue expansion, inflammation, and fibrosis.
Why the study?
The expansion and inflammation of white adipose tissue are causally linked to metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, but the primary event triggering this inflammatory expansion remains unclear.

This review highlights the role of adipocyte progenitors in obesity-associated white adipose tissue expansion, inflammation, and fibrosis, which are linked to metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.
Liu et al. (2020) conducted a review in Obesity-associated white adipose tissue expansion, inflammation, and fibrosis. Adipocyte progenitors (APS) was evaluated. Adipocyte progenitors play a key role in obesity-associated white adipose tissue expansion, inflammation, and fibrosis.
