Skin Fat Regulation: Edriss Yousuf
Tuesday, 10 May, 2022
The fat layer in our skin has the ability to expand and shrink. Yet, the regulatory mechanisms for skin fat growth and shrinking are not well understood.

These findings have implications for scarring and scleroderma, disorders which are typically associated with reduced skin fat abundance.
