Popis: The expansion of the white adipose tissue during obesity is accompanied by increased cellular stress, but factors that protect adipocytes from cell death are not well known. Here the authors report that the transcriptional co-activators YAP and TAZ are activated in adipocytes during obesity, which increases adipocyte survival through the proapoptotic factor BIM.
