Adipocyte

Adipocyte is a peer-reviewed open-access journal dedicated to research on the biology, physiology, and pathophysiology of adipose tissue. It publishes basic, translational, and clinical research on adipocyte development, differentiation, function, metabolic regulation, inflammation, endocrine signaling, dermatology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and disease relevance including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. The journal uses single-anonymized peer review and publishes manuscripts in English.
