Blocking glycogen synthase 1 in white adipose tissue alleviates hypermetabolism following severe burn injury through inhibition of JAK2 by UDPG.

Browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) contributes to the sustained hypermetabolism observed in patients with burns. How glycogen metabolism in WAT is linked to burn-induced hypermetabolism remains unknown. We discover that burn-induced UCP1 expression in subcutaneous WAT is accompanied by...

EyaHOST, a modular genetic system for investigation of intercellular and tumor-host interactions in Drosophila melanogaster.

Studying intercellular and interorgan interactions in animal models is key to understanding development, physiology, and disease. We introduce EyaHOST, a system for clonal combinatorial loss- and gain-of-function genetics in fluorescently labeled cells under QF2-QUAS eya promoter control. Distinct from mosaic...

Adipose-Derived Extracellular Vesicles and Intercellular Crosstalk With Skeletal Muscle: Implications for Sarcopenic Obesity and Metabolic Dysregulation.

Sarcopenic obesity, characterized by the concurrent presence of excess adiposity and diminished skeletal muscle mass and function, is closely linked to frailty, chronic inflammation, and insulin resistance. The increasing prevalence of sarcopenic obesity is driven by the global aging population,...
