Hyperglycemia diverts dividing stem cells to pathological adipogenesis

Hyperglycemia diverts dividing stem cells to pathological adipogenesis

Vincent Hascall et al. Stem Cell Res Ther. .

Abstract

This commentary proposes a mechanism for why murine diabetic adipose tissue contains very few remaining stem cells compared with normal adipose tissue. The mechanism involves the diversion of stem cells to pathological adipocytes when they divide in hyperglycemia.
