Cover: The PH domain-containing protein CKIP-1 is defined as a novel inhibitor of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) adipogenesis, in which CKIP-1 enhances HDAC1-associated repression of C/EBPα and suppresses adipogenic differentiation of MSCs. Correspondingly, CKIP-1-deficientMSCs display increased C/EBPα expression and more adipocytes after induction. The background shows H&E staining of inguinal adipose tissue from CKIP-1 WT mice on regular diet. See pages 368–379 by Li et al. for details.
