Adipogenesis, the process of formation/differentiation of adipocytes (fat cells) from stem cells, plays an essential role in lipid/fat metabolism and energy homeostasis, and is involved in many common metabolic disease patterns such as obesity and diabetes but also osteoarthritis. The terminal differentiation from mesenchymal stem cells into mature adipocytes occurs through differentiation of adipocyte precursor cells, also known as preadipocytes.PromoCell offers a complete Starter Package to study this important physiological process as well as potential regulators of adipogenesis. The discounted Starter Package includes our convenient, robust and sensitive, plate-based Adipogenesis Assay Kit as well as Preadipocyte Differentiation Medium and Adipocyte Nutrition Medium.
PromoKine细胞生物学(Cell Biology)是在显微、亚显微和分子水平三个层次上,研究细胞的结构、功能和各种生命规律的一门科学。细胞生物学由细胞学发展而来,细胞学是关于细胞结构与功能(特别是染色体)的研究。现代细胞生物学从显微水平、超微水平和分子水平等不同层次研究细胞的结构、功能及生命活动。在我国基础学科发展规划中,细胞生物学与分子生物学、神经生物学和生态学并列为生命科学的四大基础学科。
