Adipocyte heterogeneity revealed by spatial transcriptomics of human adipose tissue: Painting and more.
Abstract
Adipose tissue is composed of adipocytes and cells from the stromal vascular fraction. In this issue of Cell\xa0Metabolism, Bäckdahl et\xa0al. (2021) use spatial transcriptomics to provide a first glimpse at the architecture of human adipose tissue. The authors identify distinct adipocyte subpopulations with specific metabolic features.
