Researchers have utilized single-cell RNA sequencing to map the developmental path of adipocytes in human adipose tissue. The study identified 15 distinct cell clusters and 7 transitional states, revealing dynamic differentiation processes. Key signaling pathways, particularly insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF), were found to be active throughout differentiation and showed depot-specific variations, offering potential therapeutic targets for metabolic disorders.
