Abstract
Intercellular and inter-organ communication systems are vital for tissue homeostasis and disease development, utilizing soluble bioactive molecules for signaling. The field of extracellular vesicle (EV) biology has rapidly expanded in recent decades, highlighting EVs as effective bioactive nanovectors for cell-to-cell communication in various physiological and pathological contexts. Numerous studies indicate that adipocyte-derived EVs are crucial components of the adipose secretome, playing a key role in autocrine and paracrine interactions within adipose tissue, as well as in endocrine signaling. This review aims to present an updated perspective on EVs as mediators of communication between adipose tissue and other organs, while also examining their therapeutic potential in the light of recent advancements in EV biology research.
期刊介绍:
Cell Reports publishes high-quality research across the life sciences and focuses on new biological insight as its primary criterion for publication. The journal offers three primary article types: Reports, which are shorter single-point articles, research articles, which are longer and provide deeper mechanistic insights, and resources, which highlight significant technical advances or major informational datasets that contribute to biological advances. Reviews covering recent literature in emerging and active fields are also accepted.
The Cell Reports Portfolio includes gold open-access journals that cover life, medical, and physical sciences, and its mission is to make cutting-edge research and methodologies available to a wide readership.
The journal's professional in-house editors work closely with authors, reviewers, and the scientific advisory board, which consists of current and future leaders in their respective fields. The advisory board guides the scope, content, and quality of the journal, but editorial decisions are independently made by the in-house scientific editors of Cell Reports.
