Abstract

In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Daquinag et al. (2011) take a lesson from the oncology field to search for stromal progenitor cells within adipose tissue. Their use of phage display biopanning in vivo identified an isoform of the extracellular matrix protein decorin as a receptor for the adipokine resistin.
