Elucidating nanoscale mechanical properties of diabetic human adipose tissue using atomic force microscopy

Abstract Obesity-related type 2 diabetes (DM) is a major public health concern. Adipose tissue metabolic dysfunction, including fibrosis, plays a central role in DM pathogenesis. Obesity is associated with changes in adipose tissue extracellular matrix (ECM), but the impact of these changes on adipo...
