Context: Alterations in white adipose tissue (WAT) function, including changes in extracellular matrix (ECM) composition, play an important role in conditions of both weight gain and loss.Objective: We set out to identify novel genes regulated by obesity and cancer cachexia in human scWAT with potential roles for adipocyte function and/or tissue remodelling.Design Candidate genes were selected by overlapping previously published gl...
