Cell Metabolism Cover 선정 (Mar 2022, Vol. 34, No. 3)

On the cover: Adipose stem cells (ASCs) are the origin of visceral and subcutaneous white fat depots. In this issue, Nahmgoong et al. (pp. 458–472) utilize single-cell RNA sequencing to identify fat depot-specific ASC subpopulations. They link the ASC subpopulations to distinct metabolic features of the two white fat depots, including adipogenesis, fibrosis, inflammation, and beige fat biogenesis. The cover image depicts ASCs contemplating their fate from a common starting point before traveling their chosen paths. Image produced from original artwork by Hanna Park.
