Integration of APC scRNA-seq data reveals heterogeneity of adipocyte progenitor cells In a previous study9, we defined Lin−Sca1+CD142+ APCs as adipogenesis regulatory (Areg) cells and demonstrated that these cells are both refractory toward adipogenesis and control adipocyte formation of APCs through paracrine signaling. In contrast, Merrick et. al.4 observed that Lin−CD142+ cells…
