Sweet science: Exploring the impact of fructose and glucose on brown adipocyte differentiation using optical diffraction tomography

This study shows that fructose impairs brown adipocyte differentiation and function in both mice and humans, affecting lipid droplet formation and adipogenic gene expression.

Establishing immortalized brown and white preadipocyte cell lines from young and aged mice

This paper establishes protocols for creating immortalized brown and white preadipocyte cell lines from young and aged mice to enable long-term studies of adipogenesis and adipocyte biology.

Fructose vs. Glucose: Modulating Stem Cell Growth and Function Through Sugar Supplementation

This study investigates how glucose and fructose, along with oxygen levels, affect stem cell growth, cytokine production, and differentiation in multicellular organisms.
