COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING AND ADMINISTERING BROWN ADIPOCYTES

摘要

The present disclosure provides compositions comprising a hydrogel and a cell adhesion ligand that enhances the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into brown adipocytes, and/or enhances the maintenance of brown adipocytes. In some cases, a subject composition includes cells that are embedded within the hydrogel. The present disclosure also provides methods of making and using the subject compositions.
