Adipocyte  is a fully open access, multi-disciplinary journal that publishes research on all aspects of adipose tissue physiology and pathophysiology.

Recognising the dynamic role of the adipose tissue and its contribution to a variety of physiological and pathological processes, Adipocyte accepts manuscripts that use basic, translational, or clinical approaches to explore the link between dysfunctional adipose tissue and a growing number of chronic diseases (including, but not limited to, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and cancer)

Specific topics covered include:

    Adipose tissue structure and development
    Adipogenesis, adipose stem cells
    Adipose inflammation, immune cells
    Insulin resistance and diabetes
    Metabolism and energy balance
    Mitochondrial dysfunction
    Adipose hypoxia, apoptosis
    Adipokines and angiogenesis
    Cardiovascular disease, vascular homeostasis, and hypertension
    Thermogenesis and lipids, fatty acids, or brown/beige fat
    Reproduction, obesity and cancer
    Diabetes and obesity
    Systems Biology and Bioinformatics
    Adipocyte biology relating to plastic/reconstructive surgery
    Adipocyte biology relating to dermatology

The journal accepts the following types of articles; Research Papers/Reports, Brief Reports, Reviews, Mini-reviews, Technical Reports, Commentaries, Meeting Reports, Methods & Protocols.
Adipocyte accepts high-profile submissions in basic, translational and clinical research.

Please note that this journal only publishes manuscripts in English.
